Greek is a teen drama that premiered on ABC Family
last year, and it has quickly begun to gather a following.
A 10-episode first season of the show has aired, and with
the positive reception, it has been renewed for a second.
***
The show follows a younger brother, Rusty, and older
sister, Casey, attending the same college. Rusty has just
begun attending college, and Casey insists he remain low
on the social ladder, as she doesn't want anything to hinder
her chances of becoming president of a fraternity.... but
from there non-stop drama ensues for both of them. ***
Not everyone is going to enjoy Greek - this is clearly
a show aimed at teens. But as far as teen dramas go, this
is one of the best ones to come along is quite some time.
This genre is nothing new, and many attempts of recent years
have been hit and miss…. But Greek hits the spot. The show
always feels authentic, and features an all-star cast, including
Jacob Zachar, Scott Foster, Spencer Grammer, Jake McDorman,
and Dilshad Vadsaria. ***
The set includes all 10 episodes from the show's first
season, spanning 3 discs. Episodes included are as follows:
Pilot, Hazed and Confused, the Rusty Nail, Picking Teams,
Liquid Courage, Friday Night Fights, Multiple Choice, Separation
Anxiety, Depth Perception, and Black and White and Read
All Over. --
Image And Sound:
A nice transfer to the DVD format. As a fairly recent
show, the image quality has very few issues, and most of
them are so small you won't even notice. Sound also fares
well in the transfer to DVD, all of the dialogue (which
the good majority of this show's sound consists of) is all
loud and clear, and easy to understand. ---

Features: |
Some features have been included on the DVD - not a
substantial number, but it's better treatment than most
shows on DVD tend to get. There are deleted scenes from
numerous episodes which you should definitely watch if you're
a fan, as well as commentaries for the episodes. We also
get a sneak peek at the forthcoming second season, which
considering the quality of what we got in this set, looks
promising, as well as a behind-the-scenes featurette. Lastly,
an extended music sequence is included, though this is really
nothing special. Hopefully there will be plenty of bonus
features in future sets, as well.
