Le Blues du Maestro

Powerful! That's the only word that comes to mind when thinking about this show. Mainly known for their cuisine, and the beauty of their country, here the Greeks have, unlike what the large majority might expect, hit hard with this incredible piece of art. Their entry on the largest streaming platform in the world certainly did not go by unoticed nor dissapoint as the series easily found its way to the top 10 list for tv shows in many countries around the globe. The production designer of this series should definitely be applauded for the selection of the many sets, and locations, all of which were breathtakingly outstanding. Also, the actors knew exactly what they were doing when came the time to perform. They may be unknown for the large majority of us, but that did not prevent them from shining to the best of their ability for the whole planet to see. Additionally, knowing that this show told the story of a musician, I was not expecting anything less from the soundtrack. Saying that the composers nailed it in that area would be a understatement. So go ahead, watch it, watch it, watch it, for the actors who played wonderfully, for the plot that grips you from start to finish, as well as for the lanscapes that showcase Greece's natural appeal. You will not be deceived.

I've only written one or two reviews in imdb but I had to speak up about this mini series. Disclaimer: I never was a fan of Papakaliatis (until now) so my review is objective. This series is something else, it's revolutionary, it's intriguing, it's inspiring, it's emotional! This is great work and I'm so glad to see that someone truly cares about giving food for thought about what's going on in the average Greek family, about violence, about different sexual orientations, about love. Our society needs series like this to take at least a step forward and finally overcome those boundaries! Thank you for this! All the actors are amazing. Thank you! This should be taught in schools. If we've learnt one thing from this series is that you should love and embrace your children no matter what. Be kind, be respectful. Some people are in so much physical or/and psychological pain that you have no idea about.

This debut of a Greek production on Netflix is remarkable. It has all the ingredients that make for a great cinematic experience: diverse themes that affect ordinary people, titillating music, engaging dialogue (terse but thoughtful, sometimes witty and wise) and creative use of foreboding.

The viewer is able to relate to each of the major characters. Episodes are devoted to a major character. Orestis, Haris, Sofia, Fanis, Maria, Michalis and Haralambos come to life. Thus, the viewer knows how he/she develops. Compelling drama then ensues as the characters interact.

The settings help in making a heart-rending story: the idyllic Greek islands of Paxos and Corfu on the Ionian Sea.

Haris Alexiou, Maris Kavoyianni, Marisha Triantafyllidou, Christopher Papakaliatis, and the young actors Khelia Andriolatou and Orestis Chalkias deserve our ovation.

Now that Greek cinema has caught the attention of Netflix, do we expect more of the same quality Greek films from this video streaming leader? Parakalos.

BRILLIANT! GENIUS! I WANT ALL SHADES OF BLUE AND COLORS FOR MAESTRO!

My first Greek series thanks to Netflix and what a delight!

All is perfect: acting, story lines, music, cinematography and scenery.

It is light and profound at the same time.

Very probable stories.

The Greeks have achieved a master piece and I can't wait to watch more.

Maybe a second season for Maestro, they left it open ended.

Or more movies and series from same team and actors.

I am in awe and speechless how they tackled so many issues with virtuoso and realism.

The acting was super from all: the younger cast, the oldest and even the despicable character.

DON'T MISS THAT GEM!

Great job from Christopher Papakaliatis! Maestro is a show about human relationships, difficult choices, boundaries and significant social issues like domestic violence. The story gets better and deeper as the episodes flaw. The characters are developed slowly and nicely as they face their everyday reality and struggles with their "demons".

The cast is truly amazing! What can I say about Maria Kavogianni??? She makes me cry with her performance sometimes.. For me her story is the most heartbreaking and touching..

The scenery is absolutely brilliant, as it takes place in a beautiful Greek island full of blue and green! The style is vintage and the music background fits nicely.

This mini-series really worths a try!!
