User Reviews

best Greek production

I would like to say that this is one of the best productions that Greece has ever done in a long time. The directing and the acting are superb and I cannot express how beautiful the scenery is in which the series takes place.

Also, happy to hear that Victoria Hislop chose Greeks to do this production cause it is worthwhile.

However it is not for all ages especially children for there are scenes not suitable for them to watch.

But overall,congratulations to this magnificent piece of work which is finally worth watching on Greek television these days.
