SzomszĂ©dok was a Hungarian television series, occasionally called the Hungarian Dallas, that ran from 1987â1999 and produced 331 episodes, airing its grand finale on December 31, 1999.
The series was a soap opera, dealing with the lives of ordinary people, living and working in or around an average lakĂłtelep. Its characters were explored, over time, in equal depth: ranging from elderly pensioners, busy middle aged professionals, up-and-coming young people, and children growing into their teens.
Many consider Szomszédok to be the definitive Hungarian television series, being a period piece of sorts that covers the last few years of the communist era, the rendszervåltozås, and nearly a decade of the new market economy Hungary thereafter.
