Interview: ZOS writer Malcolm MacRury

From Alex Epstein at Complications Ensue:

  • Interview with ZOS showrunner Malcolm MacRury
    “Could you tell the story of a whole community in the same way that Deadwood told the formation of a civilization out of illegal opportunity and opportunism. Could you tell a story about a community that had had law and order and then descended into chaos and anarchy. Could you tell the story of that community, giving equal weight to all the partners, to see what happened to it.” Read:

In the news: ZOS holds lens up to Bosnia

From Brian Gorman of the Sudbury Star:

  • Disturbing the peacekeepers
    “Bosnia is one of those places that naturally lends itself to black humor and surrealism. Set in the former Yugoslav republic, ZOS: Zone of Separation is both. The eight-part series debuts Monday, Jan. 19, on Movie Central in Western Canada and The Movie Network in the East. And it blends high drama, black comedy and a surrealistic tragedy so dark that it occasionally wanders over the line into comedy.” Read more.

In the news: ZOS an uncomfortable watch

From Joel Rubinoff of the Waterloo Record:

  • Gritty drama takes an ambitious look at the private hell of peacekeepers
    “Ugly, depressing and filled with a surfeit of cable hallmarks — gratuitous sex, grisly violence and ear-bleeding profanity — this ambitious look at the private hell of UN peacekeepers trying to maintain a fragile truce between Muslim and Christian factions in a Casablanca-like no man’s land will be a poison pill for anyone hoping for feel-good homilies about doing the right thing.” Read more.
