Sto para 5

I don't really have a whole lot more to add to the comments made by the first few people to give their opinion on this show which was indeed a breath of fresh air on Greek TV--heck, it was the first time I truly followed a Greek TV series in my life, and I was 22 when it started and have lived in Greece for nearly fifteen years! I've even found myself wishing they'd release it on DVD so I can keep it (a first for me!)--if possible, with subtitling options, so I could share it with friends of mine who don't speak Greek! It really is very good.

However I would just like to point out to people who might be reading these comments to determine whether it's worth watching that it's not worth listening to people like fgeorgiou or sotiris makris--both anecdotal evidence and more official audience figures suggest they're very much in the minority; besides, of those 2 guys, the first is obviously just trying to be contrary, and trying to elevate themselves apart from what they seem to view rather sniffily as 'The Masses' (capitals intended) and the second can't even be bothered to write his rather ungenerous criticism in plain English--he keeps mixing in Greek in key bits of text. Sotiris honey, this is a site in *English*-- if you can't be bothered to write your nasty comments in that language, stay clear cos you're just annoying people.

Right, I daresay I've fed the trolls (*gaaaahhh!*) but I don't want people to miss out on this just because some people are being killjoys (tonite was the closing episode, let's hear it for the DVD--meanwhile youtube has lots of snippets:-)--if there had been more comments I daresay all that BS would have been rather more lost.

Enjoy, folks! I know I have :-)

"Sto para pente" is this kind of TV series that turns you into an addict in case you want to see sth different on your TV screen ,sth more adventurous,mysterious and above all that smart.Giorgos Kapoutzidis has turned out to be a clear talent in this field due to the fact that the plot doesn't let you feel bored at all.One thing that makes this script so strong is also the great performance of every actor in this TV-series.All of them, one by one , are perfectly placed to perform their role which makes you think that they are meant to have this specific role cause it seems to be so hand in glove for them.Another thing which characterizes this script is that basically supports an adventurous comedy but sometimes it also unfolds the dramatic aspect this story can have; this is that makes it more special ,the unique matching of drama & comedy.A reference to the five basic characters is needed cause they are unbelievably special and so different that someone could easily say that altogether can create the most extraordinary person.All in all, it's for sure a TV-series which is worthy to watch because it has this "something" which makes it from good to be great. Enjoy the mystery!!!

This is one of the funniest, cleverest and well made Greek shows ever. The cast is stupendous and the writing very crisp. Sometimes you need to watch an episode a few times to get all the jokes. The other impressive thing about the show is that compared to other Greek Comedies, the humor is not obvious and the direction is similar to what you get with well made BBC or US comedies. I started watching the show while in Greece in the summer of 2006 and I was hooked by the time I left. Fortunately, I have Satellite Greek TV so I will be able to follow the 5 "angels of Charley" in the new season that is supposed to start in Mykonos.

"Sto Para Pente" is a series about the mystery that five completely different people must solve, when a government official is murdered in front of their eyes.

The secret of the show's success, is not only the extraordinary performances of the cast or the directors' work. It is one of the few TV shows that relies on clever lines, mystery and well-written dialogs, instead of yelling, screaming and vulgar language used by most Greek hit TV shows. Yorgos Kapoutzidis, whose last work was another hit TV show, "Savvatogennimenes", has done a great job creating a story so original, yet so familiar (due to his references to various Greek B&W movies). Humour, as well as mystery and adventure, join forces to create one of the best Greek TV shows ever created.

All the performances are truly terrific, but the characters of Dalia and Theopoula (played by Smaragda Karydi and Efi Papatheodorou, respectively) steal the show. The director has done an excellent work and the song featured in the opening credits is one you really can't get out of your mind. The rest of the cast does an excellent job and the guest stars add up to the mystery. A show that can't be missed!

"Sto para pente" is probably the best TV series ever. i simply can't believe the infinite imagination of George Kapou. In my opinion Kapoutzidis is a God. the plot is great and his jokes make me laugh for hours. it's all i discuss with my friends. Don't u just love him! =)"Sto para pente" helps me exit the reality, forget the problems of daily life and become more optimistic. i admire Dalia and 8eopula and i believe that we should all try to be more like them 'n' enjoy life. i also like Kapou's previous series "savvatogennimenes". his role was excellent - a guy from Paraguay or Uruguay that constantly got on Soulla's nerves. He was simply adorable!! i honestly can't wait for his next work!
