For those who are patiently waiting for Godfather of Harlem season 4 or still reeling from the high-octane drama in Netflix’s Griselda, a new crime drama arrives this summer, Hotel Cocaine.
The series follows the dramatized story of Roman Compte in the late 70s and early 80s as he attempts to navigate a very complex life. He’s a Cuban exile managing the Mutiny Hotel, the epicenter of the Miami cocaine scene, and he’s being forced into a tight spot between federal authorities who want his help and family members tied to the drug trade. Sound interesting?

Hotel Cocaine plot
Here is the official synopsis for the series:
"Hotel Cocaine is the story of Roman Compte, a 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."
