The series chronicles the lives of six Greek women. [2] The show aired in the midst of the Greek government-debt crisis and faced criticism for its tone of luxurious living in hard economic times. [3] Writing after the show was cancelled, The New York Times commented that the show "barely lasted one season, and it doesn’t take long to see why. The Greek adaptation had a depressive undertone that might have matched the national mood, but didn’t provide viewers with a frothy escapist kick. Wealthy Greeks aren’t flaunting their lifestyles these days..." [4] The first-season cast included Ioanna Soulioti, Orthoula Papadakou, Annita Nathanail, Fofi Mastrokosta, Christina Papa, and Joe Satratzemi Togou
The series was not subsequently renewed and remained a one-season series.
