The ABC Family drama that aired from 2007 to 2011 "cracked the college TV show in a way no series had before or has since, in part by focusing on an iconic, dramatically heightened subset of college life," says Alison Herman, adding: "Through four seasons, Greek touched on love triangles, house parties, and other mainstays of the conventional teen drama. But its setting also enabled a more mature set of conflicts, from sharing space with difficult roommates to big-picture questions about the directions of its characters’ lives."
