Tha vreis to daskalo sou

I don't watch Greek TV. Greek TV series are usually uninspired, boring, with dumb plots, bad acting and jokes of a ten-year old's' taste. Well, this is everything that this show is not.

I got hooked on it just by passing to say hello to my mother for 1 minute and I ended up watching a whole episode standing up.

It has the innocence seen in cinema of the '60s and the plot idea roughly based on "Htypokardia sto thranio"(1963). The characters are believable and all the cast does a frank performance. You can easily relate to the protagonists Mariza and Thanos, getting the feeling that you are in their skin. While these two give the tone of romance, the supporting characters provide the comic element. When Aspa or Lara open their mouth, you are sure to laugh.

Good writing and adequate direction give the right pace, with enjoyable puns and transitions between scenes. Only negative point: the broad use of cigarettes by the characters.

It is a pity that it is not available in DVD and you will not find any English subtitles any where.
