Dimitra (Dimitra Papadopoulou - also screenwriter of the series), a Greek woman of average IQ in her 30s, and Thodoris (Thodoris Atheridis), a normal Greek lad, star in this sweet comedy which shows how strange and funny can sometimes a relationship be. Every episode is just a few scenes of what a couple would do on a daily basis, such as shopping, watching TV, going for coffee, visiting friends, driving in car, going to the movies etc... The weird thing about it, is that the camera is ALWAYS put in a way, so as ONLY the main two actors (Dimitra & Thodoris) are shown. The other actors (friends, relatives, strangers) DO play a role, and DO speak, but we just don't see their faces, we only see their hands or their feet! It is indeed strange, but it wants to emphasize on the COUPLE and their feelings and reactions. Every word exchanged between Dimitra and Thodoris, every sentence, is so funny and sincere at the same time, and the whole image of them would be the most realistic picture of a Greek couple. The most important thing, is that you NEVER get bored. The screen is build upon very short dialogues, conversations, which are very typical of a Greek couple, but of course, there is some repetition of specific phrases, so that the couple has some "character". For instance, Dimitra wonders from the very first episode "When will I become a mother?", and is always whining to Thodoris, trying to convince him to have a baby! All in all, S'agapo M'agapas will always be in my heart, because even though it's about 5 years old, I still can't help laughing when I'm watching it!

xoriatisa17 February 2007I lived in Greece back in 2001 while the show was being aired. Ended up moving back home and truly miss this show. I wish it was available on DVD or was aired on Mega satellite channel.
Dimitra and Thodori are a hilarious couple living their daily life with its trials and tribulations. They have given these characters a humorous aspect and truly depict Greek life as a married couple. They show the couple in various scenes, from going to supermarket to going to a spa to going to the bank. Which besides depicting married life, shows what life in general in Greece is like.
It was a great show! I wonder if there are re-runs airing of it in Greece currently? If anyone out there knows please share the information. If it's available on DVD share that as well!!! -
AnnaPagrati16 October 2021I simply adore this show! One of the funniest & care-free series I've ever watched! Each episode with separate mini stories, multiple even in each episode, with the only common thing in each story being the two main characters!
