To me, this movie is perfection.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Brilliant and touching

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I've been glued to this show since it went to air. I've spent pretty much the entirety of my adult working life helping to make movies and TV shows. Just once, I'd like to be working on a TV show as good as this. I'm not saying ZOS is perfect. It has flaws, so does the space shuttle, but man does it ever raise the bar for Canadian dramatic television.I've just finished watching episode eight, and I was thoroughly jolted. After episode six, I thought how is this going to get any better? Seven topped it, and eight walloped seven.Great premise, great writing, great ensemble cast, and fantastic individual performances by all of the leads.A host of perplexing and terrifying turns of plot, treachery, action, pathos, comedy. Hell they even have a dancing bear, wearing a Union Jack bikini brief no less. I hope that doesn't count as a spoiler.I've read some comments by former and current CAF personnel who are offended by the show's apparent technical and operational inaccuracies. With respect, I'd have to side with the people who are enthralled with it for it's dramatic and narrative qualities.I watch documentaries for historical accuracy and context. I watch dramas to be entertained and when they are good, to get to certain elemental, universal truths.Thanks to the entire ZOS team for a thrilling, thrilling ride. Big time congratulations!

Top quality drama set in a the midst of a peacekeeping mission in the former Yugoslavia, this series has no doubt drawn fire from critics for its less-than-complimentary portrayal of Canadian peacekeepers (among others) and of the peacekeeping mission itself. Far from being unrealistic, one fears that it is far closer to the truth than we are willing to admit. The story is strong and acting is far above average for Canadian productions, although it is sometimes a little hard to keep track of the characters. Perhaps that is intentional, to give viewers the same sense of confusion that must haunt the troops in the field on these missions.

Great show with great acting, writing and directing along with cinematography! Very compelling plot lines too like the militant Muslim Serb returning home from the UK to run a seedy bar where he runs his underground drug for gun trade and prostitution ring. Also the Serbian and Croatian dialect is bang on which gives the show a great deal more integrity as does the Balkan actors and sets. Hopefully the CBC and Gov't of Canada will continue to fund this great program so it can continue to pick up more viewers. Shows like this don't come around very often so hopefully it'll be around for along time. Keep up the great work!!

Pay no attention to the negative reviews, ZOS is a top shelf Canadian production. It has all the ingredients of an excellent show; great acting (Nolden), writing, and directing (Azzopardi). I was totally engrossed throughout the pilot and am looking forward to the rest of the series. Some of the other comments rag on it for it's story line and not being realistic, however I would suggest they hold judgement until they see how things play out. It seems to me that all the stories are heading in interesting directions. As for realism, I don't really see any merit in that argument. CSI is one of my favorite shows, but I'm sure it is no where near reality when it comes to the jobs and lives of actual crime scene investigators. ZOS is a great show, and between this and Sanctuary I am truly impressed with the direction that Canadian TV is heading. I loved it and will continue to pay close attention to this hidden gem of a show.
