As someone who remembers the half part of the 70's, I say that this show is accurate to the smallest details, era wise. After all, at that time, the world changed a lot slower. House decorations, clothes, everything is like it really was.
A great show for the younger generation to experience Greece in the years our country started to enter the Western world. Even with a dictatorship, Greece was a country with citizens eager to experience and be part of the modern world. Electric appliances bought with installments, TV enters our lives, young people rebelling against the dictatorship, women taking control of their lives and on the other hand older generations don't know how to react in this new world. We also see the fear in everyday lives. People who act like they support the dictatorship to protect their families, others who will gladly snitch the communists and all those opposed and the struggle to have a normal life in a time where a wrong word could ruin everything. It's a shame ERT doesn't have an option for English subs for this show.
I would like better acting in some scenes, but the direction is excellent. Olga Malea does great work.
