Serres

A remarkable effort with a good script, although sometimes it can be considered cringe and predictable, the best character of the series is clearly the aunt of the family who gave the best interpretation of the cast, certainly not the best series of Mr. Kapoutzidis but a very capricious.

Starts real slow but by episode 4 it gets very funny and finds its rhythm . The aunt is of course the best thing about the series . All protagonists are lovely apart from the sister I 'd say , I found her too extra . Didn't see the purpose of her . Like a vile version of Dalia . The writing is typical from Kapourzidis , it never really disappoints . The main actor ( RIP ) is lovely and I think as he was a straight man, he didn't really have another point of reference of how to play a gay man so he based his character on Spyros from Para 5 . But it's not a terrible thing . It just feels familiar .Overall I watched all 10 episodes at once and I found it absolutely lovely .

I am a huge fan of G. Kapoutzidis' work and personality. I think he's one of the most intelligent, multi-talented, charismatic people out there, so ahead of his time. His works reveal a unique ability to handle hot personal, social and political issues with an admirable sense of sensibility, kindness, empathy, hope and just the right dose of humor. Though Serres is not my most favorite of his series, it is a beautiful piece of work, with a more reserved vibe and a very personal touch. That familiar feeling of his wishful thinking about the evolution of society's moral principals felt like his aim is to show people a better way to do things. Like a wise coach guided by love for human beings, avoiding hard judgement -quite a rare attribute these days.

I'm disappointed with the series. The characters lacked depth and emotion. Even though they just lost their mother, no one shows any mood swings, sadness, or denial, only superficial condolences. I can understand the father's despondency after losing his wife and how the world around him changes, but I don't justify the lack of emotion. The writer-director of the series has exhausted the audience by constantly appearing in the media, resulting in intense negative criticism of his work. He tries hard to convey a message, but it gets lost in translation. All characters are superficial without any meaning, and it shows. After the protagonist's death in real life, I want the series to stop and not be replaced. It has completed its cycle, and now it's time to move on. One positive aspect I'll add is that I liked seeing a different part of Greece in a Greek series, even if it's online, but the local element is missing. Another positive is that I liked that the protagonist seems like a normal person next door and not the classic Greek caricature of the hysterical gay person that channels try to portray. The world is not like that, and it should show.

Very beautiful series, it's worth it !!!!

Forgive me for my feedback but I felt the cast didn't respond to the humour of the script. Odysseus imitating Spyros from para5 (the way of speaking, expression, character). I felt this role was the continuation of Spyros (a role fit to Kapoutzidis) I think if there were other actors I would laugh more. Maybe the music was quite flat!

My comment is only for the comedy part, the series is such beautiful, beautiful messages and scenes !! Thanks Giorgo once again!!
