I gi tis elias

This is awful. No one in this show does their job well. I seriously don't understand how this was allowed to air in the first place. Its so poorly made. I get that some people might enjoy watching it (that's a lie) but when they say it is a good show...?? Omg the script, the production, the acting- when do I begin?? If I could rate it as minus stars I could. This is a hateful review, I know, but im genuinely curious about how this show even exists. I know so many talented people who don't get the slightest appreciation they deserve.

This is show has a new episode like every day. How do they expect to made something good?

This is by far one of the worst shows, worldwide, on any platform. I don't even understand what strings the writer had to pull to be accepted in the greek scene. The scenario is the following: "today i made greek spanakopita, do you want some?" This is exactly the show 99% of the time. Please give chances to talented people that they actually write and produce something worth watching even as background noise. The actors are decent but they can't do alot with that script. The scenery is okay because is based on a beatiful place called Mani. The first episodes are filmed in Cyprus. Again, please don't allow untalented people represent our country. Thank you.

Very intriguing and interesting plot follows many famillies and personalities in a beautiful Mani. Beautiful photography, deep-blue sea, stone beaches, and a fields with olive trees. In this show you can see a life in a very traditional part of Greece, their customs, culture, heritage, love, hate, even an old-fashioned vendetta. Selected cast, intriguing plot, and magic scenery keep your full attention, and you are craving for more. Well done show.

The only thing I can enjoy from this series is the setting, as I was actually raised in Mani. But the overall plot, characters and direction are not very good. There's so many unecessary scenes, dialogue and characters that are not even connected. It doesn't have a main story line - it's just things happening to ordinary people.

Most of the scenes don't even resemble Mani itself; the series shows us luxurious houses, huge oil factories, forests that don't even exist here in Mani - there's overall a very inaccurate representation of the place, despite the fact that some scenes were indeed shot in Mani. Most of the characters don't even talk or behave like they are from Mani. There's a middle-aged male character who likes practising shooting (with a tiny airgun that isn't even common in Mani) while two of his friends act like this is a big deal and that it's "dangerous", even though they are supposed to be from Mani. They are supposed to be used in seeing others using weapons. If the producers wanted a series that was very similar to Mani, could they at least try a bit? To make a long story short, the overall representation of the place is inaccurate.

In conclusion, don't waste your time with this uninspired, common series - there's dozens of them very similar. The fact that it's supposed to be a series shot in Mani doesn't change a lot. The dialogue is poorly-written, there's bad/mediocre acting, it's not realistic, it has unecessary scenes and characters, no specific plot and barely any resemblence to the actual Mani. If you are not from Mani (I bet most of you are not), you may not care about the setting, but just keep that in mind: this is NOT how Mani actually looks like.

I am not a big fan of television, but I am sure there's piles of other much more interesting programmes that you can watch instead of this one. For me, the only positive thing about this series is that one of my aunt's is an playing in it - I haven't seen her often in the series, but she's a pretty great actress as I've noticed.

It's a huge disappointment with the show's decline in quality, particularly in Season 4. While it was once simple and enjoyable-especially for watching with a parent with dementia-it now suffers from poor writing and inconsistent character development. Formerly likeable characters have become shallow or unlikable, engaging in unrealistic drastic character changes (ie Poti) while others are engaging in unrealistic and forced relationships (the doctor is way too old for Vasiliki-it's cringy and not believable!). This season also introduced too many unnecessary characters that had dull stories (ie Poti's family, the doctor, etc).

The show also drags out emotional storylines (deaths) excessively, making it dull. Despite a few good actors, the weak writing overshadows their performances. Overall, I find the fourth season frustrating and a waste of time.
