Summer has arrived, and so has Hotel Portofino! This series has caused a lot of buzz among the PBS programmers and the distribution team that secured the rights. The cinematography and costuming are breathtaking, and the storyline is titillating. This series set in the 1920s is an exhilarating cocktail of drama, glamour, and mystery. Endeavour season 8 returns as well, and all three episodes are loaded for your binging pleasure. In addition, we have a new series from the UK that I think you will enjoy called Antiques Road Trip.
