Winter Watchlist Warmers - DMZ - miniseries

DMZ is one of those series that landed when I was clearly busy AF!

So it is time to catch up on the miniseries created by Roberto Patino, based on the comic book series of the same name by Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli.

You can stream this on Binge as it is a HBO Max, or now simply known as Max.

It landed St Patrick's Day, 2022. So what's DMZ or demilitarised zone all about you ask?

Alma Ortega, a NYC medic, becomes a symbol of hope in a demilitarised Manhattan Island while trying to find her son, who wandered off instead of sticking with her during their evacuation from Manhattan during the Second American Civil War. Which really could be any day now with former President Orange Face on the rampage, again and again.

Rosario Dawson plays Alma, alongside Benjamin Bratt as Parco Delgado, Freddy Miyares as Skel, Hoon Lee plus Jordan Preston Carter joined the main cast.

Also in the four episode run are Rutina Wesley, Mamie Gummer, Nora Dunn, Henry G. Sanders, Venus Ariel, Jade Wu, Rey Gallegos, Agam Darshi, and Juani Feliz.

Looking at the critics and sites like Rotten Tomatoes (54%) DMZ has had rather average (at best) scores. That said this is entertaining enough across the four hour (ish) episodes.

Freddy Miyares is totally handsome AF and near shirtless most episodes so this makes up for any plot line issues. For me at least.

DMZ streams now on Binge, while being the first in my new seasonal TV blog series Winter Watchlist Warmers. Yes folks the Oodies are on, the catch up begins. Hibiniating all the way through now till late September, early October. Well excluding my holiday to the United States of America!
