This show is creative and they have mastered the character development. Now, they didn't do so the first season, but just like Friends and other shows with multiple characters, have that settled into their stereotypical roles and its WORKS. This is a show I never miss and love it. Plus, my kids love it too and so its a great one for all of us to watch!

Brett E gave it a7:
Engaging throughout with genuinely likable & unique characters, each with their own flaws & idiosyncrasies, it's not hard to get into "Greek" and admire its fast-paced dialogue and (usually) fine acting. Its major flaw is that sometimes the writers don't trust the audience. They would rather dumb us down by nailing us over the head with what certain characters feel/think instead of just letting those characters BE themselves, without cheesy over-the-top dialogue that they would NEVER utter, just so we get exactly what's going on. This writing flaw is seen most visibly with Cappie. They want so badly for him to be "cool" and "hip" that 50% of the time it comes across as forced and obnoxious. Not his fault - he's a fine actor - but Casey is one of the most likable characters on the show because they let her be a chill, relaxed, normal girl without all of those contrived lines.

It covers everything you want to know about college! Normal problems faced in college + right amount of humor = Greek! Two thumbs up keep up the good work abc family!

My family loves this show! Having 2 teens in this house, I can say that the show touches on some pertinent issues that college students face (not just in the GREEK system)and watching this show opens a great dialogue with your teens. The characters are very endearing (especially Cappie and Rusty) and the problems they face are not exploited with overkill, just enough to get a quick message across to the viewer. Fabulous and funny show!

Gordan gave it a2:
Quite possibly one of the worst shows on television today; period. Greek offers nothing new in the category of teen drama, and simply attempts to mask long-posed soap opera drama with alpha through omega (while failing to do so). The plot turns and predictable outcomes are the only drive towards progressing the storyline, which seems to be already circular and repetitive, even in the show's second season. Let us also realize the that the content of this show is not entirely appropriate for a family channel appearance. Sex, mainly, is the only theme that drives this forsaken work forward. Thus, considering that everyone on the show has almost already had a conflict in bed with everyone else, maybe we will be fortunate to experience Greek being Black-balled. -Gordan.

Suzie gave it a10:
I love this show! Yes, it plays on abc family which it shouldn't. Yes, it inaccurately depicts Greek life, but those are the stupidest reasons for giving it a bad review which more than half of the people have done. And it's definitely nothing like those high school type shows the haters keep comparing it to. Have they actually watched the show? Because if they had they wouldn't be making that comparison.

Myosotis gave it a10:
Finally a series about young people with humour in it! Love it so please keep it up.
