YMMV / Konstantinou Kai Elenis

• Cult Classic: The prime example in the Greek Media! It ended two decades ago and people still watch it and enjoy it! Part of it has to do with the fact that Ant1 kept on rerunning it with no stop and as a result, even people who weren't born at the time it was created are familiar with it!
• Crosses the Line Twice:
  • "Kostantinou kai Elenis Voithia Mas" a.k.a the name day party episode. Eleni being chased around the house by a colleague of Kostantinos who turned out to be a perverted dirty old man? Uncomfortable at best. Her dropping on Konstantinos's bed, waking up his drunk student who also happens to have a huge crush on her, seconds before Konstantinos walks in to see all three of them in bed together? Absolutely hilarious.
  • In The "Konstantinos And Elenis" Show, Eleni is locked outside of her house and tells Konstantinos to open the door. Konstantinos, as he doesn't like her, refuses to do so. Eleni, then, forces him to do it in a way that, in any other case, it would be uncomfortable.
  Eleni: (yelling, so anyone from the neighborhood can hear her) Help! Help! Katakouzinos is raping me! Help! Help! He is tearing down my underwear! Pervet! Don't do it! It's expensive!
• Funny Moments: The video clip of "To Papaki". It has to be seen to be believed.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • Almost everything that comes out of Peggy's mouth.
    • "To Moscow, my sisters, to Moscow!"
    • Skyles Tis Lyssas!
    • Oh's story.
  • Tamala
  • The very name Katakouzinos has become almost synonymous with obsessive cleanliness. is a form of this.
  • [insert female name], my only love…
  • "Ahnofainetai"^note Literally "It is barely visible" from the episode of Konstantinos's painter cousin. Basically any solid color is a painting.
• Retroactive Recognition: Many greek actors who were introduced to later audiences through other media were featured in the series as guests or background crowd. To name a few:
  • Vladimiros Kyriakidis, known in modern audiences as Mr Ilias in Min arxizeis tin mourmoura guests as an aspiring violinist on an early episode.
  • Dimitra Matsouka, known for a variety of roles in the 2000s, is featured as a reporter on the episode Mad spiti.
  • Giannis Tsimitselis, a well known jean-premier typecast actor, appeared uncredited in Agrio Thiliko as a customer at Eleni's bar.
  • Giorgos Chraniotis, a stage actor known in TV audiences for his participation in Survivor 2018, appeared in a season 1 episode as Eleni's love interest.
  • Ilias Zervos (Konstantinos's lawyer), Spiros Mpimpilas(Lakis the butcher) and Nikos Kyriakidis(Nionios "The speed" and Dimosthenis the hippie) are very experienced voiceover actors. If one watches greek dubs from the 90s and early-mid 00s eras, they will most likely hear their voices.
    • Spiros Mpimpilas earns extra points for being (as of 2022) the current lead of the Greek Actors' Guilt and being recognised not only as a great actor by media and audiences alike, but also as one of the first people to call out misogynistic and peadophilic abuse in the greek acting world. His other work was also made very visible after former Artistic Director Dimitris Lignadis called him a "mediocre actor", averting his fear of Lakis the butcher overshadowing his career.
  • Elisavet Kostantinidou, known in modern audiences as Zoumpoulia from Sto Para Pente, guest starred in an episode as a mourning widow.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The ridicule that Eleni faces when Konstantinos learns that she hasn't earned a high-school degree is supposed to make us viewers feel bad about her. And while at first it works, the audience stops sympathising with her after Konstantinos realises his mistake, offers her to teach her and Eleni pays no attention to class and lazes.
• Values Dissonance: Very understandable, as the series is set in the 90s. Homosexuals, trans people and trasvestites are considered one and the same and are treated as problematic, artists and alternative workers are seen as freaks and lack of a high school graduation degree is faced with ridicule.
  • In the episode with Matina's cousin, the seeming perfect in every way Marina comes out as a lesbian and most of the main characters are taken aback. While some of those remain to the present day, it is not as extreme as back then.
  • Eleni's outrage at being called an atheist can seem strange to most modern audiences and non-Greeks. To make a long story short; the Christian religion was and still is a huge part of the Greek identity so calling someone an atheist back then was like saying that he wasn't a Greek.
