    Steineded How sad is this?
    MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
    Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
    mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
    adonis98-743-186503 Five strangers find themselves in an elevator of a hotel, witnessing the death of a former government official. Just before he dies, he claims that he has been poisoned and urges the five strangers to seek out and expose his killers. They must solve the mystery, that started several years ago. Sto Para 5 or also known as In The Nick Of Time is one of the better greek comedies that has been released over the past decade plus even today it's actually fun and everyone quotes it daily and the characters are perfectly flashed out and incredibly interesting too. (A+)
    gddysunshine I don't really have a whole lot more to add to the comments made by the first few people to give their opinion on this show which was indeed a breath of fresh air on Greek TV--heck, it was the first time I truly followed a Greek TV series in my life, and I was 22 when it started and have lived in Greece for nearly fifteen years! I've even found myself wishing they'd release it on DVD so I can keep it (a first for me!)--if possible, with subtitling options, so I could share it with friends of mine who don't speak Greek! It really is very good.However I would just like to point out to people who might be reading these comments to determine whether it's worth watching that it's not worth listening to people like fgeorgiou or sotiris makris--both anecdotal evidence and more official audience figures suggest they're very much in the minority; besides, of those 2 guys, the first is obviously just trying to be contrary, and trying to elevate themselves apart from what they seem to view rather sniffily as 'The Masses' (capitals intended) and the second can't even be bothered to write his rather ungenerous criticism in plain English--he keeps mixing in Greek in key bits of text. Sotiris honey, this is a site in *English*-- if you can't be bothered to write your nasty comments in that language, stay clear cos you're just annoying people.Right, I daresay I've fed the trolls (*gaaaahhh!*) but I don't want people to miss out on this just because some people are being killjoys (tonite was the closing episode, let's hear it for the DVD--meanwhile youtube has lots of snippets:-)--if there had been more comments I daresay all that BS would have been rather more lost.Enjoy, folks! I know I have :-)
    polin001 This is one of the funniest, cleverest and well made Greek shows ever. The cast is stupendous and the writing very crisp. Sometimes you need to watch an episode a few times to get all the jokes. The other impressive thing about the show is that compared to other Greek Comedies, the humor is not obvious and the direction is similar to what you get with well made BBC or US comedies. I started watching the show while in Greece in the summer of 2006 and I was hooked by the time I left. Fortunately, I have Satellite Greek TV so I will be able to follow the 5 "angels of Charley" in the new season that is supposed to start in Mykonos.
    kellitsa-sivri "Sto para pente" is this kind of TV series that turns you into an addict in case you want to see sth different on your TV screen ,sth more adventurous,mysterious and above all that smart.Giorgos Kapoutzidis has turned out to be a clear talent in this field due to the fact that the plot doesn't let you feel bored at all.One thing that makes this script so strong is also the great performance of every actor in this TV-series.All of them, one by one , are perfectly placed to perform their role which makes you think that they are meant to have this specific role cause it seems to be so hand in glove for them.Another thing which characterizes this script is that basically supports an adventurous comedy but sometimes it also unfolds the dramatic aspect this story can have; this is that makes it more special ,the unique matching of drama & comedy.A reference to the five basic characters is needed cause they are unbelievably special and so different that someone could easily say that altogether can create the most extraordinary person.All in all, it's for sure a TV-series which is worthy to watch because it has this "something" which makes it from good to be great. Enjoy the mystery!!!
