Poster for DMZ: Limited Series

Rosario Dawson (Dopesick) leads this four-part adaptation of the DC comic as a mother journeying across a future war-torn American searching for her lost son. More

In the near future after a bitter civil war leaves Manhattan a demilitarized zone (DMZ), destroyed and isolated from the rest of the world, fierce medic Alma Ortega (Dawson) sets out on a harrowing journey to find the son she lost in the evacuation of New York City at the onset of the conflict. Standing in her way are gangs, militias, demagogues and warlords, including Parco Delgado (Benjamin Bratt, Law & Order), the popular — and deadly — leader of one of the most powerful gangs in the DMZ.

Slash Film

A well-crafted tale about hope in the face of hopelessness...

IGN

While this premise oozes potential, it’s stifled both by its incoherent politics and its plodding approach to its characters, which makes even its most powerful and charismatic performers feel without purpose.

IndieWire

DMZ is generic enough to accept multiple interpretations, which also means it can let specific messages get muddled by broad rhetoric.

San Francisco Chronicle

It’s a political drama that’s studiedly nonpartisan. Whether that makes the show universal, or too cautious to risk possible future seasons, depends on which side you’re coming from.

Hollywood Reporter

It’s full of big ideas that never materialise and characters without room to grow.

Chicago Sun-Times

It comes down to the usual post-apocalyptic tale about human beings who haven’t really learned anything after the world has been turned upside down... But boy, does everyone look good amidst all the graffiti and fallen skyscrapers and blood and bullets.

RogerEbert.com

That expert craftsman directors and some interesting actors can hold some of this thin plotting and clunky dialogue together at all is a testament to their skill.

CNN

Uninvolving...

Salon

The actors stretch mightily in their performances to sell the many plot holes that DMZ requires us to ignore...

Sydney Morning Herald

The first episode... has some overwrought sequences, but Ernest R. Dickerson brings some welcome grit to the ensuing episodes.
