Review of Zen

Zen (2011)
9/10
Brilliant, erudite, sophisticated
21 March 2017
Zen is TV craft at it's finest. Sewel is perfectly cast: articulate, stylish and has a bookish rogue quality all understated to perfection. The interactions, dialogue and maneuverings between characters avoids clichés and sets a new benchmark.

...when I raced to find out if BBC were renewing the series...No. They weren't. How bloody typical. Once again they have a wonderful series in the making, great casting, story lines and settings unlike anything done on TV land. But thanks to the ratings number crunchers at the BBC they ditch it in the sea, without even offering the series to another production house???

Take Hunted, Identity, Outcasts ( a brilliant concept ), Intruders, The fades, Silk, and no doubt others. Hunted was electrifying stuff, but they canned it. Unforgivable.
