Zero Day

Zero Day is a series that plays with conspiracies and political drama, with a setup reminiscent of classics in the genre. It has impeccable production values and a stellar cast, with Robert De Niro as the main attraction. Seeing him on television is an event in itself, and his performance does not disappoint. His character has weight and presence, though the script doesn't always make the most of him. The beginning is decent but not particularly... - Full Review

Serious series, short and to the point. No master piece, but not garbage either. Somewhere in the middle. Ending is realistic and kimd of satisfying. If you like this type of political drama then I guess its ok to watch.

This show had a fairly strong start I think. I don't think it quite lived up to its potential, but I was still fairly entertained throughout.

Great cast, and would’ve probably been a decent 2-hour movie. I wasn’t engaged at all for the first two episodes, and while I did gain interest in the other four, they didn’t stand out much. If you’re really into political thrillers, you might like it. Otherwise it’s a skip.

Underrated. Goes places many dramas don't, exciting and well acted along the way. Solid performances from all in a story line shows a cross section of the interplay of politics, egoistic goals, and the pain and pressure of relationships and doing the right thing. Ultimately spoonfeeds some simplistic feel-good stuff but there's plenty here to keep things interesting right up to the last episode.

Has an all-star cast and starts off great as an ex-president dealing with an unknown terrorist threat that takes down the electrical grid of the US. But then starts to meander and ultimately crashes with a strangely surprising but anti-climactic ending. After it all, I can't say that the 5-hour investment was worth it at all as the entire series just starts to evaporate from my mind with no lasting impression.

Overall a good thriller which kept me watching til the end. Would probably be more popular if Adolescence wasn't overshadowing its release. Unfortunately, this did come along with some questionable writing and acting. The Roger Carlson subplot was unneeded, didn't make much sense, and didn't go anywhere. The timing of the train accident was really odd as gates would have already been down. There's some other questionable plot points as well, but hard to describe without spoilers.

good cast, good acting. but essentially a 5 hour movie with too much filler.

Good to see De Niro back in a decent role.
