matadams Review of My Big Fat Greek Life

My Big Fat Greek Life (2003)

Episodes average a solid 6.4 why is the series just rated at 4.7?

[7/10 · 5 October 2023]

I totally missed it's original airing back in 2003 probably due to a big move at the time that took awhile to get settled in. I always liked the My Big Fat Greek movies premise and it's characters so I was thrilled to stumble across the series DVD and get to watch it for the first time just recently. This series made me laugh much more than I expected. It left me scratching my head why only seven episodes? I think more time to let it develop would have been nice as it left me wanting more and it ended leaving lots of questions. The seven episodes all rated 6.0-6.8 so the fans that took the time to rate the individual episodes clearly liked it. My wife and I quickly wanted to watch it a second time as we laughed a lot. I suspect it's the professional critics being to critical that affected it's overall rating. It really deserves to be a lot higher than it is.
