Mia, who has told her family she is studying there on Erasmus, actually lives in Athens as an activist helping refugees.[8](https://www.lemonde.fr/series/article/2023/04/11/des-teenagers-rock-n-roll-a-la-generation-z-nos-series-de-la-semaine_6168993_5439376.html) • [9](https://www.leparisien.fr/culture-loisirs/series/salade-grecque-sur-prime-video-cedric-klapisch-reussit-une-suite-parfaitement-assaisonnee-13-04-2023-IGY2UY4FR5EZFDR2IYQPOAAMIA.php)\n\nWhile the siblings delay a decision about the building, they share it with other young Europeans, in a multicultural squat that the [France Télévisions](https://www.edgepedia.org/france-televisions) program notes contrasts with the Erasmus flat-share of the original film. The series follows their romantic entanglements and commitments alongside themes including gender politics, activism, migration, and the future of Europe.[10](https://www.francetelevisions.fr/et-vous/notre-tele/les-programmes-a-ne-pas-rater/salade-grecque-32137) • [8](https://www.lemonde.fr/series/article/2023/04/11/des-teenagers-rock-n-roll-a-la-generation-z-nos-series-de-la-semaine_6168993_5439376.html)\n\n### Cast and characters\n\n[Aliocha Schneider](https://www.edgepedia.org/aliocha-schneider) plays Tom and Megan Northam plays Mia.

Le Parisien praised Klapisch's portrait of a new generation of young Europeans \"with humor and humanity\" and described the new generation as \"more committed, less carefree\" than their parents.[9](https://www.leparisien.fr/culture-loisirs/series/salade-grecque-sur-prime-video-cedric-klapisch-reussit-une-suite-parfaitement-assaisonnee-13-04-2023-IGY2UY4FR5EZFDR2IYQPOAAMIA.php) [Le Monde](https://www.edgepedia.org/le-monde)'s Thomas Sotinel wrote that the series \"overflows with good intentions, often contradictory,\" with characters serving as emblems of causes, and that it recovers the fluidity and lightness of *L'Auberge espagnole* mainly in a [Christmas dinner](https://www.edgepedia.org/christmas-dinner) scene.[6](https://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2023/04/16/salade-grecque-sur-prime-video-cedric-klapisch-cuisine-la-generation-z_6169785_3246.html) On AlloCiné the series holds a press score of 3.6 out of 5 and a viewer score of 3.9 out of 5 from 1,277 ratings; on IMDb it holds 7.3 out of 10.[1](https://www.allocine.fr/series/ficheserie_gen_cserie%3D28812.html) • [7](https://www.justwatch.com/fr/serie/salade-grecque)\n\n## References\n\n1.
