User Reviews

Probably the best Greek Production in the history of Modern Greece.

This series is not only a big budget, it is a huge enterprise artistically. It manages to combine excellent modern Direction with top notch photography and artistic Acting you can easily only find in Theatre. I heard it may be syndicated or made into a DVD with subtitles. It'd be excellent for the rest of the world to see what this Country can offer.

With an English writer offering Catharsis to the Characters it's also a first for Greece: A big story that doesn't end only in tears.

It will satisfy all ages, offering a range of characters from children to old people, it will reach the minorities in any society being sidelined.
