Public figures in Greece have voiced significant criticism regarding the standards and ethics of the national television industry.

Journalist Marzy Lazarou highlighted concerns over the use of exaggeration, drama, and artificiality in both news and entertainment. She specifically noted a trend of hypocrisy and a negative cycle where programs focus on responding to other presenters, which she described as a practice that “tires the audience.”

Following these critiques, actress Matthildi Maggira expressed dissatisfaction with industry standards, citing a lack of respect and poor working conditions. Maggira suggested that the industry needs to remove those she deems incompetent and noted that the Greek television sector lacks the financial scale found in markets like the United States.
