Nothing happens

[lordlera1 · 1/10 · 2 February 2022]

Very slow show. They add unnecessary characters ,plots, dialogues, scenes to produce more episodes out of nothing. There is clearly a lack of a main plot.

Abysmal

[gmntps · 1/10 · 15 November 2021]

Far-fetched script. Dialogues for laughter. Interpretations for laughter and crying. Not to mention the direction. Overall, a production that, if it does not irritate you with its low quality, will probably make you laugh out loud at what you hear and see.

Another poorly-made Greek series

[georgekoul · 1/10 · 1 June 2022]

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.

Amazing!

[katerinacandy · 10/10 · 18 May 2022]

I love that series, I enjoy watching all episodes. I like the actors and how they play, and the plot is very interesting. The music is superb too. Ok, sometimes it exaggerates a bit, but that doesn't destroy the general result..it keeps me interested to watch the next episode.

I sound mean

[marpoupouka · 1/10 · 31 January 2023]

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?

Amazing

[LucasFilmsFan · 10/10 · 13 November 2021]

I grew up in the Mani and the depiction of the characters and the overall scenery is perfect. Covers all traditional Maniot themes of revenge, honor and passion.

Series is like loaded mashed potatoes

[angimikel · 1/10 · 28 February 2022]

Plot of the story is all over the place loaded with tons of actors which in most cases the inexperience of some is visible. The writing seems to be recycled story lines that go from character to character. One person runs into issues of going broke, same thing happens to the next character. Rewriting to keep this series going to the point where it becomes annoying and a joke.

Are they serious

[marb123 · 1/10 · 24 February 2024]

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.

Misrery, Love, Hate, Vendetta in picturesque Mani

[vaniapetrovic · 10/10 · 16 November 2021]

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.

I like the part where they gather around a table and eat

[makiskar-93032 · 10/10 · 16 June 2023]

I like where they sit on tables and eat. I mean, it is a familiar thing, people eating. It makes you feel same and warm. You see people, standing there, eating. The best thing in this series is that sitting around a table and eating takes half of the series runtime! And don't let me start about people drinking. We all drink, am I right? Don't you like watching people drink? You are at work, you come home exhausted. What is better than watching TV, watching people eat and drink for half an hour? 1 hour if you count the inbetween 30 minute ads. It's perfect! No stressful things like plot exist here. And for the lovers of mystery and action, every 10 or 20 episodes, something happens! Amazing!

Good show

[Adam1020 · 8/10 · 16 November 2021]

It's a good show, the actors interpret the characters well. There a few things that are confusing like the murders of the Stefanea family which should have been simpler but overall it's a good show.
