TV Series · 2016–2021 · 12 people

Greece's Alpha TV aired Ela sti thesi mou (Greek, roughly "Come to My Place"), a daily comedy series, in its evening slot. Rooted in the telenovela and soap tradition, it began on 3 October 2016 and ended on 9 July 2021, reaching 934 episodes across five seasons. Because of its ratings, a second season was confirmed as early as March 2017, and a third followed.

The story is based on the Colombian telenovela Nuevo Rico Nuevo Pobre, shown by Caracol Televisión in 2007-2008. Two men from different social classes, Vlasis Kalaitzis (Giannis Tsimitselis) and Achilleas Sofokleous (Marinos Konsolos), learn that their families were swapped by mistake on the day they were born and try to adapt to their new reality. The cast also includes Mihalis Marinos, Pavlos Evangelopoulos, Kostas Triantafyllopoulos, Athina Oikonomakou, Evagelia Siriopoulou and Andon Kafecopulos.

Giorgos Kritikos created the series, and Giorgos Kokouvas also wrote for it. J.K. Productions made it, with Giannis Vasiliadis, Spiros Rasidakis, Vasilis Tselemegkos, Fay Tsanetopoulou and Georgia Zisi directing at different times. The fourth season was announced in April 2019, premiered on 16 September 2019 and finished after 165 episodes. The usual 20:00-21:00 slot moved to 20:50 on 22 June 2020 and returned to normal when the fifth season began.

Through different eyes

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

A story about two families swapped at birth is tailor-made for a daily series: every episode can serve up a new adjustment problem or a fresh misunderstanding. This show fed on that idea for five seasons. In my view, though, a daily comedy this long-running inevitably starts repeating its core joke at some point, and character development rarely keeps up with the episode count. Having different directors take the chair at different times also suggests the tone may shift from season to season. Even so, for fans of this kind of show it is a strong candidate for a comfortable every-evening habit.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

Two families swapped at birth trying to get used to each other's lives is a premise viewers of any age can easily follow. The comic situations that come from the rich and the poor trading places can get grown-ups and kids laughing in front of the same screen. It was a daily evening series, so it is a long-term habit. There are a great many episodes, and watching them all takes serious time.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

The series' premise touches on the question of how much of a person's class is a matter of birth and how much of upbringing: two men from different social classes learn that their families were mistakenly swapped on the day they were born. Adapting a Colombian telenovela idea for Greece also suggests that class works in similar ways across different societies. The comedy format turns that question into material for entertainment rather than digging into it; still, it is an interesting field for anyone who wants to watch how wealth and poverty shape habits, expectations and family relationships.
