Being Erica, Flashpoint

In the news: TV to lighten your winter

From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

  • Seven ways to light up your winter
    “Being Erica (Mondays, CBC, 9 p.m.) is just terrific. If the ads convey that it’s some kinda girly-centric froth, don’t be fooled. It’s very entertaining for anyone – intelligent, serious and nuanced. Erica Strange (Erin Karpluk, who is exceptionally good), is single in Toronna but dealing with it, and her past, with aplomb.” Read more.

In the news: Canadian TV heats up

From Craig Takeuchi and Sean Minogue of the Georgia Straight:

  • Canadian TV heats up the winter season
    “With layoffs at Canwest Global and CTV—plus whispers of cutbacks at the CBC—even our TV industry isn’t insulated from recent economic tremors. While belts tighten one notch, however, Canadian TV has kicked it up two. Two new CBC offerings, the dramedy Being Erica and the Alberta ranch tug-of-war Wild Roses, both debuted with ratings higher than the new 90210. And CTV’s Flashpoint drew 12 million viewers with its January 16 episode. Here are more shows to chill out with over the winter season.” Read more.

In the news: ZOS ambitions not yet met

From Robert Cushman of the National Post:

  • Zone of Separation is all soaped up with nowhere to go
    “For the third time in recent months, a character in a TV action drama finds himself – or in this case, herself – standing petrified atop an unexploded bomb. This scenario should be more gripping in Z0S: Zone of Separation, which is set against a real and recent conflict, than it was amid the fantasy heroics of Prison Break or 24. But in fact it’s less, precisely because the stakes and therefore the expectations are higher and they have not been met.” Read more.

In the news: ZOS’s Maltese connection

From the Malta Independent:

  • Maltese producer’s eight-part drama premieres tomorrow on Canadian TV
    “Hope is possible in ZOS and it is prized – but it’s always hard-won. Peacekeeping has pride of place in the Canadian national identity. It was, in fact, executive producer and director Mario Azzopardi’s pride in the country, which welcomed him as a young man from Malta almost 30 years ago, that was the catalyst for ZOS.” Read more.

In the news: ZOS’s blend of comedy/tragedy

From Brian Gorman of the Brantford Expositor

  • Life and death in the space between the hate
    “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.
