Greek Salad on OTT is an immerse experience into the culture, lifestyle and people of Greece

With the rich content available on OTT, one should make it a point to watch new shows from around the world. Already, viewers are getting comfortable with shows from India, America, Europe, Korea and Japan that are available in different languages and subtitles. Now, along comes Greek Salad with subtitles in English that centres around two siblings who move from the US and Paris to Athens after they jointly inherit an apartment building there.
All eight episodes have begun streaming today, April 14 on OTT. The show is a spin-off of acclaimed French filmmaker, Cedric Klapisch’s L’Auberge Espagnole, the film trilogy that debuted 20 years ago. It features the children of the show’s main characters, Wendy and Xavier. Greek Salad is director Klapisch’s look at European youth today according to a review on the site Sortiraparis.

The show falls in the drama-comedy genre and is specifically targeted towards young adults. Tom Grater in a review on Deadline says the series is a contemporary sequel to the movie trilogy L’Auberge Espagnole released twenty years ago.
Shweta Choudhury of Meaww calls it a French series that is set in Athens, Greece and “explores a range of contemporary issues and challenges that young people in Europe face today such as sexual identity, as well as issues specific to Greece, such as the migrant and financial crises”. She recommends watching it, if for nothing else but for the vibrant and “immersive experience of the culture, lifestyle and people of Greece”. Woven into this are the themes of heritage, culture and families.

This family drama seems promising and may well be worth a watch.
