I don't usually write reviews, but I had to do it for this.
In this TV series we see a group of four women, who are ready to drop everything in their life, but suddenly they decide to form the first ever national team of Greece in the sport of Curling (a sport unknown to the Greek audience). After some research in this "exciting sport", they find a Greek-Canadian curling champion, and together they set sail for the championship.
Now,you'd think that the plot is not really bad, and that Kapoutzidis (the writer of the scenario and also the actor who plays the curling champion) will succeed in delivering it correctly to the Greek audience, but he is really far from it. He thinks that it's wise to add a LOT of known social problems in the Greek Community, instead of sticking just to one, or two. He only scratches the surface in problems like racism, homophobia, domestic and road violence, in a failed attempt to show the audience how things are in his mind. He is really inordinate and excessive, and his dialogs are ALWAYS far from reality or they are trying to find a new way, a new solution for these problems. The other actors are trying hopelessly to save the situation, but they can't, due to the scenario that is was given to them.
After a long and successful career of sitcoms and comedies, Kapoutzidis decides to form a drama series, by far his biggest mistake. I really don't like where this is going, and of course I change the channel when "Ethniki Ellados" is on.
Awful series, the worst one in Greek Television right now.

The Hangover Part III Review
The truth is that Part III of this decent trilogy was pretty good, but not great, and definitely not awesome. I too was lured to the cinemas, due to the fact that there was a lot of controversy (and of course, a lot of advertising) to see if that film was good or not.
The cast was pretty good, with Zach Galifianakis returning -of course- and giving a great performance as the funny and weird character of Alan, who is actually why a lot of people went to the cinemas for.
The story advanced pretty well, with no actual "Hangover" this time, but with a bunch of nice story twisters and clever lines.
Unfortunately, the film didn't have the charm of the first film, the film that introduced us the great company of the "Wolf Pack" but I believe it was better than the second film, because the story progressed better, and the actors were more direct and lovable.
6.5/10
