Latremenoi mou geitones (English: My beloved neighbors) is a Greek comedy series written by Panos Amarantidis and Konstantinos Ganosis, directed by Pierros Andrakakos and broadcast on Mega Channel. [3] The series is based on a Spanish production, Mis Adorables Vecinos .
The series revolves around the lives of two families. The Moustoxides family is from a poor neighborhood and working class, however their young daughter, Betty, wins a reality singing show (much like Pop Idol) and ends up a superstar with the family becoming very rich. They move in next door to the Papapavlos family who are sophisticated Athenians.
Although there are occasional glimpses of the underlying tensions involved with class and behaviour, upbringing and status, the series generally focuses on the obvious for its humour, for example the way in which Pelagia dresses and behaves betrays her origins and often the upper-class locals look down on her ways.
The first season averaged a 35% rating and the second, with a lot of changes (writer, cast etc.), 22%.
