My First Night Shift

Tasting notes

On his very first shift, a newly appointed night manager learns that his job description is far more flexible than he expected. The hotel is old, elegant and almost entirely staffed by women, who have all noticed the newcomer. Episode 1 opens with a nervous warning to keep to the lobby, a call for room service and an order that turns out to be him. Sloane, a colleague, watches with amusement. Episode 2 keeps going: a guest gets comfortable, invites him to join her and asks him to come closer. Each door in the corridor leads to a new request. The shift is long. His composure is not.

Flavor profile

A new employee, a hotel that never sleeps and a series of guests who take the lead. The line crossed is professional. The free episodes stay with invitations, innuendo and a single door that opens slowly.

Allergy advice Contains: room keys, polite panic, midnight orders and a manager who forgot the employee handbook. May contain traces of overtime.

Best enjoyed Great for a night owl with a quick attention span and a taste for a hotel where everything is open until morning.
