Greek is a TV show about students from Cyprus Rhodes University who are part of the Greek system (In other words, members of fraternities and sororities). It’s a teen dramedy (Drama + comedy) from ABC Family that stars Jacob Zachar, Spencer Grammer (Frasier’s daughter), Jake McDorman, Scott Michael Forster (The hottest guy alive!), Paul James, Clark Duke, Amber Stevens, Dilshad Vadsaria, Tiffany Dupont and Jessica Rose (Of lonelygirl15 fame) , and is directed by Patrick Sean Smith.
I discovered Greek in the iTunes store, which is why I am now forever grateful to iTunes. I usually download their free stuff, and when they offered the pilot episode of Greek awhile ago, this then totally unknown show to me, I decided to try watching it. After one episode, I was officially hooked. And hooked I am.
I love Greek because its story lines and character development are just GREAT, although it has some cliches and stereotypes, and some scenarios are pretty unrealistic. I also love Greek because it has memorable characters (Cappie and Rusty are some of the most likable characters in TV today), witty dialogue and really funny scenes (All the episodes never fail to entertain). Another reason I love Greek is because of the Casey-Evan-Cappie love triangle, I have been a steadfast Casey-Cappie fan until episode fifteen (Greek’s best episode yet), and now I can’t decide between Cappie or Evan for Casey. I can go on and on about why I love Greek, I’m so addicted with this show.
The sad thing, though, is that Greek is really underrated, not many people appreciate or even know about the show, even in the US. On one hand, I like it that way, because I hate it when something I like becomes popular (Like what happened with Gossip Girl. My best friends and I have been reading the book series since high school and nobody else we know knew about it, and even when the first few episodes of the TV series came out. Then suddenly, Gossip Girl became the hottest show in our age group. But then again, it was inevitable considering Gossip Girl is a good show). On the other hand, I believe that Greek deserves high ratings and critical acclaim. That’s why, as you can see, I’m campaigning for Greek, and I have started quote-forcing-unquote my friends to watch it. If you like teen shows or do not have anything else to do this summer, I highly recommend Greek.
