Season 1:
Foivos Delivorias is a 45-year-old songwriter who has not been doing too well lately. He hasn't had a hit for several years, and when his children's song “To Krokodilaki” (The Little Crocodile) becomes an unexpected sensation, it rather makes for an embarrassment rather than a joy.
Natassa Bofiliou is Fivos' first guest at the “New Mantra”. Jonathan, however, has serious objections, which are withdrawn when Fivos promises to write “To Krokodilaki No 2” (The Little Crocodile No 2).
Jonathan invites Giorgos Mazonakis to the "New Mantra", without warning Fivos. When the latter finds out, he worries about how to combine the two different kinds of audiences they are targeting.
Will Foivos be saved from his new dead end? And what role will Tonia Sotiropoulou, Antonis Karpetopoulos, an 11-a-side football team, Kostas Karyotakis, a smartwatch and little Chloe have in this?
Foivos invites Christos Nikolopoulos with his group, Pitsa Papadopoulou and Stelios Dionysiou to ""Mantra"". Jonathan and Danai tell Foivos that he doesn't have the authentic folksiness he needs to welcome them. He does everything to prove them wrong.
Foivos discovers that little Chloe has become a well-known TikToker and has struck up an online friendship with singer Joanne, last year's winner of THE VOICE OF GREECE. He feels that he has no connection with the present, with the new musical reality; and he decides to invite Joanne to Mantra.
Jonathan tells Foivos that both he and all Greek artists lack a spirit of cooperation. Foivos looks for a new dynamic duo to prove him wrong - and he turns to the master of great collaborations, the Bacchic Stamatis Kraounakis, for help.
Jonathan tries to teach Foivos, to no avail. He can't understand how a man with two left feet wrote the song "Otan sou horevo" (When I dance for you). He forces a night at the "Mantra" with Rena Morfi. Foivos counters with his own suggestion, Thodoris Marantinis, and Jonathan brings both of them.
Jonathan takes Foivos to the psychologist to prove to him that if he had solved his issues he would have become a different Foivos. To be precise...the other Foivos, the composer of Kaiti Garbi’s hit songs.
Foivos invites Yiannis Kotsiras to Mantra. But the singer is having problems: He is being stalked everywhere by a crazy fan, whose behavior becomes more and more threatening.
Foivos - who never wants to hear about love again after his own love affair came to a miserable end - is hanging out at home with the Chatzifrageta band. Jonathan, on the other hand, is living a great love affair with Danai and wants to do a big, lavish live appearance in honor of Love at "Mantra".
In order to prevent the Mafia from hitting the club, Foivos gives interviews everywhere - and Lefteris Pantazis is invited as a guest. But the latter is hiding a dangerous secret.
It's Christmas, and our heroes have lost the “Mantra” for good. The Mafioso Memas, who manages it, has transformed it into a “Chantra” and has put as central artists the young trapper SHITBOY and his mistress, folk song diva Litsa Makka.
After his trip, Foivos manages to convince the "numbers" to fight the last battle against the Mafia and try to take back the "Mantra". There are two main obstacles: the relentless Memas, and the utterly resigned Jonathan.
After their joint victory against the Mafia, Foivos and Jonathan have become best friends – to an irritating degree. They invite Panos Mouzourakis to Mantra, who, however, has a major- as well as catastrophic - effect on all the "numbers".
Foivos and Jonathan invite Mariza Rizou to the Mantra. But Thanasis, who has just started studying history at the Open University, discovers - or thinks he discovers - something strange that concerns her.
In the boys’ civil war the role of Lysistrata is played by Marina Satti? Together with the "Fones" and with the unexpected help of Catherine Sakkari, Jonathan's aunt, the girls make the guys feel like washed-up superheroes and the live show... literally magical.
Foivos and Jonathan invite Miltos Paschalidis to the Mantra for a special tribute to Crete. It is gradually revealed that all the show’s characters hail from Crete. But this, apart from the opportunity that gives them to honor the island, also entangles them in other -more vicious- traditions...
Greece's official Eurovision contestant, singer Kostas Safetis, withdraws from the contest for personal reasons, leaving the country without a song at the last minute. The difficult task of finding a new candidate falls to -who else?- Menelaos.

Nikos Portokaloglou invites Foivos to the "Music Box". When Nikos, Rena and the "Musicians of the Box" welcome Foivos with some pleasant surprises.
Aunt Agoritsa tries to convince Foivos to give a chance to her niece, Giota Negka, who is an amateur singer, to perform at "Mantra" with her band.
All things come full circle - and the "Numbers" come full circle in the "circle" of a group therapy session. Each of them tells the psychotherapist about the entire year they have spent year in "Mantra" - and what their own "Mantra" would look like.
