Reception
The show premiered in the midst of the Greek government-debt crisis and faced criticism for its tone of luxurious living in hard economic times.[3] Writing after the show was cancelled, The New York Times commented that the show "barely lasted one season, and it doesn’t take long to see why. The Greek adaptation had a depressive undertone that might have matched the national mood, but didn’t provide viewers with a frothy escapist kick. Wealthy Greeks aren’t flaunting their lifestyles these days..."[4]
