Description of Papadopoulos & Sons (2012)

In an interview Markus Markou says that the story involves wrestling the identity of being Greek. He says that similarities can be drawn from the history of Harry as Markou's own father was the song of a Greek Immigrant who worked to rise through the class system. Markou was privately educated.

I found the use of stereotypes such as Georgia Groome's spoilt daughter character, Katie. This was comical as she aspired to be a "pop star" although her rap that she demonstrates to her boyfriend is short.
