DMZ (2022)

Watchseries; If you liked this at all. I recommend to just go watch HBO's other series called Warrior. Because DMZ makes itself sounds edgy and TV MA, but it is more pulp fiction.

I even go as far, and say DMZ feels like a melodramatic soap opera.

Even Into The Badlands would be a much better watch.

DMZ watchseries. The characters are so cringeworthy with their decisions and choices and just general demeanor. The story crawls at a snails pace and is filled with SO MUCH melodrama. Most of it isn't earned or built up to begin with to leave any impact. The editing and direction makes me want to vomit, there are so many cuts in a scene...cut to face, cut to other face, cut to handshake, cut to face again, cut to other face in like 10 seconds...It's extremely annoying. There is one big action scene in the 3rd episode that could have actually been cool, all the elements were there to make it cool, but you definitely could tell the person never shot action before and it was LAME. I'm being generous with a 5 because the actors all do fine work and are really giving it a 100% effort, the set pieces and world building were pretty cool as well. Disappointing.

Okay - it's a little slow - a little drawn out - but - it's actually not that bad - I'd definitely say it's better than most reviews - I'd give it a 6-7 - it has its moments for sure! Not bad!

I watched the first 3 episodes, after which I couldn't bear wasting time any longer. The first episode is decent enough, the rest are increasingly slow, as the story gets dragged into nonsense. Benjamin Bratt and Rosario Dawson are fine actors, but the scenario borders on stupidity. The premise is that NYC is split into several factions that are at war with each other, and a woman looking for her son manages to outwit the gang leaders who seek their own agenda. As an involuntary consequence of trying to win over her estranged son, this woman saves the ordinary people from their own greed, violence, and stupidity in only a few days. If that doesn't seem implausible to you, consider this. A woman in NYC personally knows 2 gang leaders: one is her ex, the other a close co-worker and friend (what are the odds of this happening?!). The woman had been seeking her son for 6 years, but once in the DMZ zone she finds him in 1 day. In a war zone where surviving is incredibly difficult, besides finding her son, this woman manages to re-connect with the 2 leaders, befriend a 3rd leader, "adopt" a kid, help at a clinic,win an election - all of this and more in only 4 days, while fighting for her life. If this story seems believable to you, I have a bridge to sell you.

A show that could have been awesome and intense. Winds up being some bland drama. Skip this one unless you wanta kill a few hours with your love ones.

Future dystopia, action, Rosario Dawson - what is not to like? A broken post-war place where everybody is cheery, clean, well dressed and well fed. The camera work is sunny and bright, wardrobe colourful. No broken people. The action involves sitting around talking, moves on to some discussion and finishes with some dialogue. Dawson is given a hopeless script and does as well as anyone could.
