Hotel Cocaine (MGM+) -- S: Danny Pino, Michael Chiklis - From the creator of Narcos - Premieres 6/16/24
LOS ANGELES - April 3, 2024 - Today, premium network MGM+ revealed a first look at the highly anticipated crime thriller Hotel Cocaine, executive produced by Chris Brancato (Godfather of Harlem, Narcos) and Guillermo Navarro (Pan's Labyrinth). The teaser arrives on the heels of the eight-episode series' global debut at Series Mania in Lille, France. The first episode of Hotel Cocaine will premiere June 16 on MGM+, with new episodes airing on Sundays until August 4.
Hotel Cocaine is the story of Roman Compte (Danny Pino), Cuban exile and general manager of the Mutiny Hotel, the glamorous epicenter of the Miami cocaine scene of the late '70s and early '80s. The Mutiny Hotel was Casablanca on cocaine; a glitzy nightclub, restaurant, and hotel frequented by Florida businessmen and politicians, international narcos, CIA and FBI agents, models, sports stars, and musicians. At the center of it all was Compte, who was doing his best to keep it all going and fulfill his own American Dream.
New recurring and guest cast announced today are Don Mike, Pedro Giunti, Lola Claire, Matthew Del Negro, Victor Oliveira, Robert Beck, Sam Robards, and Candy Santana. Guest stars previously announced include Mayra Hermosillo, Juan Pablo Raba, Erniel Baez, Nick Barkla, Cale Ambrozic, Camila Valero, and Maggie Lacey. They join the ensemble led by Danny Pino (Mayans M.C., Law & Order: SVU), Michael Chiklis (The Shield, Winning Time), Mark Feuerstein (Power, The Baby-Sitters Club), Yul Vazquez (Severance, Godfather of Harlem), Tania Watson (The Head), Corina Bradley (Star-Crossed Romance), and Laura Gordon (Late Night with the Devil).
Chris Brancato created the series and serves as executive producer and showrunner. Guillermo Navarro directed the pilot and executive produces the series alongside Brancato, with Michael Panes and Alfredo Barrios Jr. also serving as executive producers. Hotel Cocaine is produced by MGM+ Studios, in association with Stan in Australia and internationally distributed by Amazon MGM Studios Distribution.

8 episodes. Premieres this summer.
I now have MGM+ for 6 months at 1/2 off, so I'll definitely be watching.
On the downside, I know this is a service a lot of you don't have. So it's probably going to missed by many here.

Dang, in googling MGM+ deals it looks like I missed out on that half-off for 6 months deal. I should keep an eye out for a reoccurrence of this deal or one very close to it , as I would love to catch up on From and this show sounds like something I would consider watching.

I know very few here have MGM+, but has anyone watched this yet?
It's been out about a month and the 4th episode just dropped. I watched the 1st 2 last night.
Overall, It's decent so far and has a lot of interesting ideas. Danny Pino is the protagonist and gets blackmailed by a shady DEA agent (Michael Chiklis) to re-connect with and infiltrate his Drug lord brother. Lots of beautiful women and I love the setting.
Worst part so far is Mark Feuerstein, who plays one of the supporting characters. His subplot is nonsense. There is another dumb subplot about a shady sex trafficker, who tried to re-connect with one of Pino's girls at his hotel. She escaped from him. Episode 2 goes into detail on that plot.
You can tell this show has gotten virtually no attention or publicity when it doesn't even have an RT score and there are hardly any audience reviews. Guess a lot of people don't even know this series exists. :

I wanted to check this out when I saw Chiklis promoting it, but yeah, no MGM+.
