This series is not only a big budget, it is a huge enterprise artistically. It manages to combine excellent modern Direction with top notch photography and artistic Acting you can easily only find in Theatre. I heard it may be syndicated or made into a DVD with subtitles. It'd be excellent for the rest of the world to see what this Country can offer.

With an English writer offering Catharsis to the Characters it's also a first for Greece: A big story that doesn't end only in tears.

It will satisfy all ages, offering a range of characters from children to old people, it will reach the minorities in any society being sidelined.

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!

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.

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.

Just finished reading the novel " The island", and trying to find the full series to watch, but cannot find them, please help me. thank you and glad everyone enjoyed it !
