Their sitcoms are overacted to the point of what we’d call ‘ham,’ and their serious dramas are so full of excessive hand gesturing that you’d think they were all done for the deaf (no offence, please). I have to say it, most Greek TV is awful, and tends to reflect the acting and indeed production quality of 1960’s-70’s British TV.
It was the serialisation in a whopping 26 episodes of Victoria Hislop’s book ‘ The Island,’ all about the human tragedy that was everyday life for Cretans in the first half of the twentieth century, because they were living with the every present threat of leprosy, a disease that perhaps we only ever think afflicted the people of Bible times. Back in 2010-11 the best TV drama we’ve ever seen in 15 years of living in Greece was showing on the Mega TV channel.
