Good series, with fortunately few episodes, so they didn't pull the story by the hair and without exaggerations, however there were moments when I felt logical jumps were made and everything didn't always tie together.
As for the end, I don't think that Alekos was "sacrificed" for the good of Sophia (as I read elsewhere), and this is because there was a way for Heracles to get out of the way with the help of Dionysus or third parties, without having to Alekos to be killed, from the moment when the financial possibility existed to the maximum extent. Also, the fact that Alekos went to the date without even wearing a bulletproof vest (in order to increase his chances of survival), but also with the words he said to Heracles, on purpose to provoke him and provoke him to shoot him, showed that he essentially wanted to "kill himself", since his mission was completed and no positive news was foreshadowed for him in his personal life. And this, because on the one hand he couldn't bear to claim Sophia again, since Alekos loved Dionysus as his own child, but on the other hand he couldn't bear to continue his life, definitively anymore, without Sophia as his partner.
However, Dionysis's feelings towards Alekos remained mixed until the end, since on the one hand he was happy that Alekos, now innocent of the heavy charges, re-entered his life, since he had him in a way as his father, but on the other hand, he didn't forget that he was the one who "stole" Sofia from him, and he remembered the scenes where he caught Alekos and Sofia together.
What didn't sit well with me was Sophia's attitude to return to Dionysus. Personally, I didn't want them together. The character of Dionysius had good elements of course, but he was also unstable, sometimes aggressive, and quite possessive. Sophia left Heracles, because he also had, to an exaggerated extent of course, similar elements and Sophia was an independent dynamic woman, who did not "belong" to anyone.
Of course, Dionysis' behavior towards Sophia was generally very good and he helped her a lot in everything, but Sophia was always held back by something, even though she loved him as a person and was fascinated by the care and protection he provided her. And the marriage proposal she made to him, more than her need to take a step forward and to forget about all her problems, she did it and not because she suddenly saw him "differently".
So, when 2 months passed, from the moment of Alekos' death, where she had absolutely no contact with Dionysis, it shows to me that in the end she was more united with him by the "problems" and when everything suddenly calmed down, she pushed him away because she no longer needed him. Because excuses like "he moved away to calm down" don't stand up to me. When you really want a person in your life, in any way (whether friendly or romantic), you don't push them away. But he came back in the last scene. Is it out of love? Wouldn't that be strange? Or maybe to possibly find a support in the upbringing of her children? Or maybe because there was simply no one more suitable for her at that time and she was caught wherever she found the reason? We will never know... However, I believe that the only person she loved and fell in love with in her life with all her heart was Alekos.
PS I also find it strange that everyone dropped out of school for good, when they could have continued their lives from where they left off or studied something else, completely different anyway.
