Let's start with the pros:1)excellent interpretations from Tsortekis as Haralampos,I dare to say his acting is an Oscars one,Maria Kavogianni and Haris Alexiou.also great! Congratulations! They were perfect and I would like to watch Tsortekis in other productions not only Greek ones. He is really talented! 2)beautiful scenery and music after this tv series everyone wants to live in this island 3)the two boys'story really touched me deep inside it was presented in a very emotional and realistic way so as the grandma's secret love,it was so romantic and powerful that I would like many more scenes and details about it
Now the cons:1)the love story between the teacher and the teenager girl didn't convince me at all. Maybe because the age difference is 30 years and we see a 19year old girl?it would be different between a 30year old woman and a man at his 60s. Now it looked more like a "love" based on their.psychological issues. The girl is brought up in a sick family with lots of problems,she uses dating apps at the age of 18 and she meets a stranger much older than her,also we don't see any real friend in her life or even just a friend. Then she falls in love at first sight without knowing anything about him without any chemistry or something like this. The music teacher feels that he had never lived a true innocent love as a teen that is why he changed his look his hair to a teenager's style etc because he wanted to live the youth he didn't live so he is flattered by the girl's flirting Too fake to be considered as a true real love! It lacks deep emotions,It could be considered as a pygmalion story if the teacher's style was of a mature man and the girl was amazed by his personality. Now it seems more as Lolita's story in a flat version okkk all this is NOT love I can't buy it 2)so many serious issues are presented at the same time so we can't focus on one and understand it deeply in only 9 episodes. Drug dealers who become politicians,serious mental and psychological issues,drug use almost from all the characters,misery and desperation,child abuse,violence and hard scenes,hypocrisy etc Yes all these happen in our society but not in the same family in the same place in the same group of friends at the same time! All need a psychiatrist and pills! This makes it seems unrealistic or stupid sometimes and this is unfair for the boys story which was really good and interesting to watch.
I give it a 6 because of the actors effort However to be honest it is mediocre for someone who has watched many tv series and I would prefer Papakaliatis in a different role maybe this of the father Fanis.
