To nisi

My favorite series of all time. The cast, the quality, the place, the story, everything is perfect. Have seen it again and again while also I have read the book of Victoria Hislop. Definitely recommend it. Perfect capture of that time's culture and routine.

An absolutely amazing work; fiercely emotional, gorgeously filmed, each character full of life.

I'm not going to say anything about the story, just watch it for yourself.

After so many years, I've seen the series four times and I have to say that it's a golden masterpiece! It's a shame to be a Greek and not have watched this artwork... If you are a person that does not know about greek actors, you have to know that all of them are famous and have oscar performances!

The director, Thodoris Papadoulakis, is the best director in Greece, and you 'll understand why in this series.

My favorite actress is Youlika Skafida, who plays Maria Petraki, and believe me when I say that she deserves an oscar!

Please, for your own good, go watch this series and you 'll never get disappointed!

It's really nice that the viewers in Serbia had a chance to see this brilliant TV series (Pink, March, 2012), though I doubt that many endured to watch it all the way. Unlike many similar TV products (especially Spanish, Turkish, Brazilian and Indian), this series did not offer us a fairy tale on luxury and 'la dolce vita', but the touching story about a serious illness, human isolation, suffering and fear ... with a lot of emotional charge.

A small rocky island, so near yet so far away from the rest of the world, has become the personification of horror and despair of the despised and rejected. But even in this terrible and gloomy setting there is enough room for human hope, enthusiasm, friendship, and love. Although it does not seem so at first glance, the series actually emits optimism because it shows that people in difficult personal situations can accept their ill fate in a dignified way.

The atmosphere was brilliantly depicted as well as the characters, especially the main ones. Needless to say: the actors are fascinating, including children and 'naturščiks' (non-professional actors). Despite some possible small flaws (in the script, directing, or editing?) in two or three episodes (WWII), the series is, in general, excellent!

Finally, I would like to point out something that is important for viewers in Serbia: translation was perfect. The translator (unsigned?) respected what the actors uttered in Greek, skillfully adapting certain colloquial expressions to Serbian ones.

All in all, 'To Nisi' is a job well done!

I don't know where to start but the whole thing is just very unpleasant to look at.

The camerawork would be fitting for a lowbudget horror movie but not for this genre. Crete is beautiful but they sure have hidden it well with this tone of color, blueish/green darkening color filter.

The acting feels very unnatural and the background music is very random and doesn't really match with what is happening.

The story could be good but it is filled with unnecessary and boring substance.

I was looking forward to this but it's a really weird production.

For who is this interesting, I think for Greeks and people who have an obsession with Greece. For people who like good stories, acting and camerawork look elsewhere.
