The series has garnered my attention for its unique storytelling approach, portraying the week leading up to a middle school softball team's championship game from various characters' perspectives. This narrative technique offers depth and relatability, allowing viewers to connect with each character's personal. For instance the studio is continuing the excellence in animation and the return to its origins with the ability to balance humour and emotion effectively.

* (to the person that review 1/10) Ah yes, because heaven forbid a Pixar show explores topics like emotions, relationships, and modern life. Clearly, it's much better for kids to grow up thinking the world is all sunshine and rainbows. If a show about softball and personal growth was too complex for you, maybe it just wasn't made for you. Move on and let the rest of us enjoy quality storytelling.

I'm disappointed with the series. The characters lacked depth and emotion. Even though they just lost their mother, no one shows any mood swings, sadness, or denial, only superficial condolences. I can understand the father's despondency after losing his wife and how the world around him changes, but I don't justify the lack of emotion. The writer-director of the series has exhausted the audience by constantly appearing in the media, resulting in intense negative criticism of his work. He tries hard to convey a message, but it gets lost in translation. All characters are superficial without any meaning, and it shows. After the protagonist's death in real life, I want the series to stop and not be replaced. It has completed its cycle, and now it's time to move on. One positive aspect I'll add is that I liked seeing a different part of Greece in a Greek series, even if it's online, but the local element is missing. Another positive is that I liked that the protagonist seems like a normal person next door and not the classic Greek caricature of the hysterical gay person that channels try to portray. The world is not like that, and it should show.

I don't often watch Greek films, and I haven't been to the cinema in the past year. The specific movie I randomly watched, which was advertised on Instagram, didn't appeal to me. I decided to watch it because I was more interested in the actor Dimitris Kitsos, whom I had seen in another project, specifically in the maestro, a mini-series. I think the movie could have had more substance, exploring how the main character could understand his father's nature earlier and take actions to change, making things worse or better before getting into the situation. While the performances of the two actors were basic, they didn't provide much depth to the characters, and there was room for improvement.
