I am excited by this series. Great performances, suspense, cliffhanger episode endings, secrets and mystery. It includes everything a demanding viewer wants. It is also set in the Greek postwar era, so it appeals more to people obsessed with the past as myself... All characters even the minor ones are interesting and the protagonists have a back story that gradually unravels and adds more depth and dimension to each of them... Everyone has a reason for his actions. But those actions inevitably have consequences.... As time goes by, the viewer is very difficult to choose side. Even the more unlikeable characters become sometimes likeable. There are no ,good, and ,bad guys, as in real life. That gives more believability to the series. I would like to praise all the cast and crew but that would take several pages... I will focus on Eleni, performed by Mrs Kitsou. Eleni is the symbol of the eternal greek woman, a woman with strong character, dynamism, and initiative. Her appearance, reminds us of an ancient Caryatid. Her main antagonist, Doukas Sevastos, performed by Mr Kakouris, the land lord that covets her land for an upcoming industrial zone, is an imposing figure with a deep voice, an iconic character that reminds us gangster movies. He is an enforcer of murders performed by his henchman Meletis and his late son Sergios. He keeps secrets even from his sons and his adulterous wife Myrsini. The greatest secret of all, is the forgery of his father will, a secret with devastating consequences if ever revealed.... I will stop my review here. The characters are many, the story long, the plot twists endless... I could write a whole new book with that amazing series as a springboard. For me is something unprecedented, since I am a cinema lover and never before have I watched a series with so many episodes. That is the most important thing about the series. It can captivate assorted audience.... I want to congratulate the creators of the series for the gift they offered us.....
