Overview and casting

The series chronicles the lives of six Greek women.[1] The show aired in the midst of the Greek government-debt crisis and faced criticism for its tone of luxurious living in hard economic times.[2] 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..."[3]

The series was not subsequently renewed and remained a one-season series.
