Very glad I've got the opportunity, once again, to write a short review, as I've found myself at the receiving end of one of the side-effects of the corona crisis. So it's been hectic, and not in a good way. But brighter days are sure to come along...
Currently there are but few reviews about the series, but this seems to be caused mainly by availability problems. Certainly most people who were lucky enough to watch the series when it aired, remember it with admiration and fondness.
In "Who pays the ferryman ?" a middle-aged widower loses the ship yard business that meant so much to him. In an attempt to take stock of his life he returns to Crete, where he spent three years of his youth helping the Greeks fight the Nazis. An old comrade tells him that his then lover, the beautiful Melina, bore him a child. The news comes as a complete surprise, since he never knew of her pregnancy. For some reason or another, their respective letters went astray...
"Who pays ?" is a fine, well-made series that mixes suspense, intrigue and romance. The pace is deliberate but not slow or boring. Gradually, the story builds up to the kind of finale that will have you discussing it with friends and colleagues for weeks. The Greek setting adds a lot of charm and interest. However, beware of the theme tune : while a nice piece of music, it has a tendency to burrow into your brain...
