Ποιος είναι ο αγαπημένος σου χαρακτήρας από ελληνικές σειρές;
Υπάρχουν πολλοί χαρακτήρες που μου αρέσουν.
Από το Παρά 5, είναι η Ντάλια Χατζηαλεξάνδρου, γιατί θαυμάζω την τρέλα της και επειδή την φαντάζομαι αυτιστική, μιας και εγώ είμαι, και ο Σπύρος, γιατί είμαι φοιτήτρια και ταυτίζομαι με μερικά από τα προβλήματα που αντιμετωπίζει.
Από τις Σαββατογεννημένες, η αγαπημένη μου από το κεντρικό τρίο (αν και όλες μου αρέσουν) είναι η Σούλα, δεν ξέρω γιατί, αλλά μου φαίνεται πιο ώριμη.
Από Κωνσταντίνου και Ελένης, πάντοτε θεωρούσα την Πέγκυ και την Ματίνα τις πιο αστείες.
Τέλος, Σωσώ από τα "Εγκλήματα". Απλά ο καλύτερος κακός που έχει εμφανιστεί στην ελληνική τηλεόραση.

Τώρα που άρχισα να ψάχνω για δουλεια, όπως σωστός ενήλικας :D, και δεν με παίρνει κανείς, νιώθω σαν την πέγκυ καρρά.
- Ε όχι και αυτόν τον ρόλο να τον δώσει στον λάζαρο γεωργακόπουλο! της πουτάνας πια!
Ω ΑΓΙΟ ΦΩΣ ΤΟΥ ΟΥΡΑΝΟΥ, και συ αγέρα-

Οι άνθρωποι χωρίζονται σε δύο κατηγορίες: σε αυτούς που είδαν από την πρώτη μέρα κυκλοφορίας της τη σειρά «Κωνσταντίνου και Ελένης» και σε αυτούς που την είδαν πρώτη φορά σε μια από τις επαναλήψεις της.
Σε όποια θέση κι αν βρίσκεσαι, όμως, είτε έχεις δει τη σειρά σε όλες τις επαναλήψεις, είτε την έχεις δει 20 φορές, είτε μονοψήφιο αριθμό, ξέρεις και ξέρουμε πως είναι… εθιστική και πως οι ατάκες…

recs for a beginner in greek? my interest is spurred via ancient greek, but i'm sure there are tons of tv shows and films that i'm missing out on
Do you mean Greek course recs? Or media recs? Couldn't tell.
If this is about courses, right now Duolingo is the one I would recommend the most for beginning up to reaching a low intermediate level.
Tons would be... an overstatement haha I do have some good recs though. You can watch all content in ERTFLIX, the ott platform of the Greek state TV channels, which is entirely for free and available worldwide. The TV series I personally recommend there is Καρτ Ποστάλ (Card Postal), it is gorgeous, introspective, philosophical. Then there is another famous show there, Κάνε ότι κοιμάσαι (Pretend you are asleep), which is crime / mystery / thriller, but I haven't watched it. A lot of people also love Τα καλύτερα μας χρόνια (Our best years), which is a family / period show set in the 60s-70s. I haven't watched this one either. Another personal rec would be Αγάπη παράνομη (Unlawful love), which is based on an old novel, but it gets very dark in a realistic way, so that's something you should know. Other than that, ERTFLIX also has foreign content with Greek subtitles, with which you could practice. And it has great Greek documentaries.
You could watch Maestro in Blue on Netflix. Season 2 will be out this spring! Beautiful show, fantastic performances, great music.
There's also a man, George, who has been making English subtitles for various classic Greek series, comedies and dramas, including top tier Είσαι το ταίρι μου (You are my soulmate), a hugely clever and unusual rom-com, Στο παρά πέντε (In the nick of time), a crime and mystery comedy which is considered one of the two best Greek comedies ever and must have the thickest plot I have seen in a comedy (very popular show with the Greek tumblrs here) and OF COURSE ΤΟ ΝΗΣΙ ΑΚΑ THE ISLAND, a drama which is the best Greek series to date and for which I have entirely normal reactions. Here I link the post I had made about George's platform.
If you don't care to have subtitles at all you can find these shows and many others in DailyMotion and especially the website greek-movies.com. (this needs vpn, you know). This one has it all. Literally all, including the classics, classic Greek cinema of the 50s-60s-70s was by far the best era.
I am currently watching Η Μάγισσα (The Witch). There are some talks that it could go to some international streaming platform after it ends but you can watch it in the aforementioned website anyway without subtitles. I love this show, it's semi-daily, so this season will have 70 episodes, and obviously it comes with the limitations of daily shows, but as semi-daily shows go, it is bloody fantastic, I am obsessed right now.
YouTube also has a lot of old Greek series. The first thing you should do after starting any Modern Greek course is to start watching Κωνσταντίνου και Ελένης (Constantine and Helen's) on youtube, the best Greek comedy, or maybe the best comedy in the universe, with only slight exaggeration 😜😇 The aforementioned Είσαι το ταίρι μου, is also available on youtube with George's subtitles.

ROUND ONE
Matina Mantarinaki is from the tv show Κωνσταντίνου και Ελένης/Konstantinou and Eleni's. She is a neighbour of the main characters who is in love with Konstantinos and is great at cooking.
I was obligated to put the main characters of the show Σαββατογεννημένες/ Saturday-born women together because you just can't pit them against each other. Three women move in with their ex-husband, who suffered from amnesia before getting the money he won in the jackpot. They hope to help him remember so they can get the money for themselves.
