Global independent content distributor GoQuest Media has finalised sales for three series from its growing portfolio of drama to bTV Media Group’s digital platf.
Writer Miro Šifra and Viktor Tauš reveal how Zradci (Rats) has pushed the boundaries of crime drama in the Czech Republic and discuss the show’s real-life inspirations.
With six-part series Zradci (Rats), writer Miro Šifra sought to break new boundaries in Czech crime drama. Featuring a first-person narrative, using true stories and made in partnership with the country’s National Anti-Drug Centre, it tell the story of a young drug dealer caught in the middle of the ongoing battle between the police and the mafia.
“In the Czech Republic, we are used to crime and detective stories. This changed the rules,” Šifra tells DQ. “We were trying to shoot something that is still a detective story, but it’s more like a family drama and a moral fable than just a whodunnit.”
