The show is loosely based on the novel series (Ewa calls 07). 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 several similarities, and one complete storyline, with the comic book series Kapitan Żbik.
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", a "raw and realistic response to James Bond", and "the most popular Polish police series ever".
