The series "My beloved Smyrna" premiered last night on ANT1 and very quickly became the first trend on Twitter. The series consists of 4 episodes and includes a wealth of exclusive material and anecdotal scenes from the motion picture.
From the first scenes, Twitter was on fire and users did not stop praising the protagonists for their performances and the production for the filming.
Check out the best tweets:
"Excellent production. I hit it by accident and was stunned... Next Thursday here with tissues of course.”
Εξαιρετική (υπέρ)παραγωγή.. Το πέτυχα τυχαία και έμεινα άναυδος... Την επόμενη Πέμπτη εδώ με χαρτομάντιλα λογικά. #SmirniMouAgapimeni

An entire civilization was uprooted. Like a knife in the heart is #SmirniMouAgapimeni . Very good production.
Ξεριζώθηκε ολόκληρος πολιτισμός. Σαν μαχαιριά στην καρδιά είναι η #SmirniMouAgapimeni. Πολύ καλή παραγωγή.
