Review of Eglimata

Eglimata (1998–2000)
"Crimes" of unbelievable laughter!
26 September 2003
This series started about 4 or 5 years ago and it's still on the air. Replays of course, but it still has the same effects as the first time: Non stop laughs! The story's kinda complex to describe but in a few words,it has to do with family affairs. But the whole thing begins with an affair created outside the family limits. An affair that starts with innocent dates and ends with a child birth! But until that happens, many other incidents take place that will only make you laugh your ass out! The characters are all unique. The goofy husband, whose wife's having the affair, the sexy sister, a well known luxury prostitute,the husband's friend, a not so clever butcher, who's having the affair with his friend's wife, the butcher's wife, a very mean woman who seeks her husband's death by any means and many many other characters, that portray the reality and the relationships between families. The actors all deserved some kind of an award for their performances. Their acting, and one of tv's most successful and brilliant scripts,literally wrote history.Some lines from the series were meant to "haunt" audience's ordinary lives and you could hear it from people of all ages.The most interesting and hilarious characters were those of the mean wife and the prostitute. The outstanding performances of the two actresses and their poisonous lines could make your stomach ache from laughter. The series went on for 2 or 3 years and won tv awards for best tv comedy, best script and best female performance. Definitely one of the best series in the greek television.
