5.0 out of 5 stars
A pleasant surprise,
By Stephanie (Gainesville, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greek: Chapter One (DVD)
A little Animal House, some Van Wilder, a dash of American Pie, and a pinch of Gilmore Girls-esque drama, Greek is the kind of premise that could have easily gone cheesy and overdone. Fortunately, it doesn't; whether it's depictions of life in the Greek system are accurate or exaggerated, it manages to find a happy medium between alcohol-drenched party scenes and actual character-driven drama.
It's the characters, while mildly stereotypical, that really make the show; anyone who was awkward as a college freshman, whether they were in the Greek system or not, will identify with Rusty, the dorky physics major who longs to be in a fraternity; his older sister Casey may at first glance play the perfect blonde sorority princess, but she has plenty of flaws and problems to work through. Her current high-society boyfriend Evan, while definitely arrogant and a little flaky, also seems to have a sensitive side; but it's Casey's ex, ringleader of the Animal House-esque Kappa Taus, aptly-nicknamed Cappie, who steals the show. A funny, fast-talking, goofball with a heart of gold (which gets broken entirely too often), he's the kind of character you can't help but love (unless your Evan Chambers, anyway). The supporting characters, too, are surprisingly well-developed (Dale, Rusty's Bible-thumping, physics nerd roommate is hysterical, and Casey's archenemy Rebecca is the girl everyone loves to hate), and the show even tackles such issues as gays in the Greek system. However, the main theme of the show seems to be the importance of brotherhood, family and friendship. All in all, a great show, definitely worth a look.

Best Show Currently on TV,
By Mark Twain "Sam" (Florida, MO USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Greek: Chapter One (DVD)
Greek is by far the best show on television right now. The ABC Family original comedy is probably more suited for people in their teens and 20's, but my mom also loves the show. It's smart, funny and sometimes painfully true. As somebody who experienced Greek life, this show really brings back a lot of memories. The DVD is a bit skimpy on extras, but the episodes themselves are enough to keep me buying Greek on DVD for future seasons.

Endearing Comedy,
By
This review is from: Greek: Chapter One (DVD)
This is a cheeky comedy with heart. Greek is filled with fraternity antics, parties and pranks, but at the same time you find yourself truly caring about the characters and their relationships. I highly recommend the show to anyone looking for a fun mix of comedy and drama.
