I'm nuts about anything Greek, and I'm trying my best with this series- but I'm struggling.
Firstly the 'children' are completely off-putting(apart from the youngest - Gerry- who is yet to develop an 'attitude') I can't warm to any of the others.
It's the 1930's- yet the children consistently refer to their mother as not having enough sex - and other over-sexualised comments - really?
Again- it's the 1930s -and almost all the islanders they talk to have a good grasp of English. Really?
I go to Greece regularly- and even In 2019 it's unusual to find anyone over 50 who speaks English.
The supposed humour is, well, poor and tiresome. I'm 4 episodes in and genuinely haven't laughed - the only reason I continue with it is I'm hoping it gets better.
The island setting with the Greek backstory is the only reason I'm sticking with this.
Please get better....
