Background
editDirected by Krzysztof Szmagier and scored by Wlodzimierz Korcz, the series centers on the investigations of Police Lieutenant Sławomir Borewicz (played by Bronisław Cieślak), who solves a different case in each episode.[2][3] The show was loosely based on the novel series Ewa wzywa 07 (Ewa calls 07).[2] The title of both the novels and the TV series refers to "zero-seven", a police radio call-sign used by Borewicz. The show shared a number of similarities, and one complete storyline, with the comic book series Kapitan Żbik.[citation needed]
Despite being widely considered a work of propaganda aimed at warming the image of the "Citizen's Militia", the series proved highly popular in Poland and even gained a cult following. Critics called it "one of the biggest achievements of Polish crime drama",[4] a "raw and realistic response to James Bond",[5] and "the most popular Polish police series ever".[6]
