5 Fascinating Shows You Need To Binge This Summer
Get Lost in Compelling Narratives and Otherworldly Vibes.
With summer in full swing and temperatures climbing ever higher, is there a better moment to throw your feet on the coffee table, turn on the A/C, and discover your new favourite TV show? Ever since the humble beginnings of “Lost” and “Prison Break”, TV shows have grown to be one of the most common forms of entertainment in both Cyprus and Greece. As their popularity rises and new subscription services keep popping up seemingly every day, it’s hard to go through an ocean of options to discover something that truly speaks to you. This is exactly what we did for you, and without further ado we present to you 5 shows you simply can’t miss!
Starring household names like Steve Carrell and Tina Fey, as well as an ensemble of highly talented actors and actresses, “The Four Seasons” is an easy sell. At just 8 episodes, this, mostly light-hearted comedy about three middle-aged couples going on holidays is a perfect weekend binge. Did you notice how we said “mostly” light-hearted? “The Four Seasons” while retaining its comedic edge, quickly becomes a surprisingly “real” and poignant story about how people change over the course of their marriage, and how these changes affect them and those around them.
“The Witch” is a Greek production unlike most. We are not used to supernatural themes in Greek series, but this one pulls them off effortlessly. It’s a gripping tale segmented into three different time periods, where three different generations of witches live in Mani, each one with their own ambitions, concerns, and hurdles to overcome. Such productions move local productions to the next level, as they try something fresh and mostly succeed.
“The Studio” has created significant waves in the artistic world in 2025, as it portrays a very compelling and raw story about the reality of how art and business struggle to coexist, while also clashing with each other. “The Studio” takes us on a journey about a Hollywood studio trying to survive without compromising each expression and artistic integrity. Led by Seth Rogen and accompanied by a star-studded cast, “The Studio” is one of the most promising “dramedy” shows to hit our screens this year.

A gritty murder investigation story that hits you right in the feels from the get-go. “Save Me” is an excellent Greek production that blends classic “serial killer” tropes with a local tale of discrimination and prejudice in all their forms. Its cast of renowned and younger Greek actors perfectly convey all aspects of family drama, small-town familiarity, grief, betrayal, and everything in between.
Arguably, an obvious suggestion, as Severance is probably the most discussed show of the year so far–and for good reason. This creative thriller imagines a world where our “work selves” are separated from our “life selves”, meaning that you never remember any part of your work. Sounds good right? Without spoiling anything, “Severance” explores themes of consciousness, purpose, grief, and many more, while also delivering one of the most unique and “edge-of-your-seat” experiences in recent years. Plus, it scratches that “Black Mirror” itch we all still have!
