Community reviews for Seaside Hotel, shown here with its season details.
We enjoyed this series. It offered strong writing and acting, apparent even dependi upon subtitles as we were. It did seem like the male characters were very quick to fall in love with the men. And why did Edward Heyse always sing in English, anyway? But we like the series, not exactly binge watching it, but still nearly watching a show per day.
Episode 1
It's 1941 and the Germans have seized the neighboring hotel, but that does not keep the regulars away. As Weyse says: "If we just pretend they are not there, then they are not there".
Episode 2
Amanda manages to get the barbwire off her beach but only by making a compromise. Weyse's memoirs suffer from writer's block. Claus reveals himself to Bertha. Alice and Bertha fetch the mysterious bag.
Episode 3
Weyse thinks he has found the right person to write his memoirs for him. But sometimes you get more help than you have asked for. Madsen mails a letter for a German soldier.
Episode 4
Amanda welcomes the Molin couple, but she also ends up in a dilemma as she receives a small gift from Lieutenant Kiessling and is forced to lie to the guests.
Episode 5
A detached German sea mine is washed ashore near the hotel; the beginning of a dramatic end for all of the guests' summer holiday.
