ZeroZeroZero

ZeroZeroZero has to be one of the most underrated, surprisingly great series of the last few years. For all the great ratings by critics and viewers alike I never heard about this until recently. It's an eight episode miniseries that will keep you in the edge of your seat throughout each episode! It's beautifully shot, it has such a fresh, gritty feel to it. It's also brilliantly written, directed, acted, etc. The acting is just fantastic, especially Dane DeHaan and Andrea Riseborough. I was so into this show that I binged all eight episodes of the course of a weekend. I was actually disappointed that it's only a miniseries because I wanted to see more. Hopefully they start making more of these kind of gritty crime thrillers.

Am I biased, yes because I absolutely love the Gomorrah tv series written by Roberto Saviano (As is the book for this series). In fact I was looking to see if there would be a season 5 just the other day and I came across this new show.

The pacing, the music, the acting, the suspense are all perfect, it's fabulous. I have only seen 2 episodes but I have little doubt the rest of the show will continue with the high standards already set out. Simply put I love these slow moving provocative crime drama's, which don't have the typical over the top action.

I am a big fan of Narco-drug series, and this one is probably the best I've watched in the past two years. It's like watching Sicario, Gomorrah and Bad blood series at same time. AMAZING. It's brutal, realistic and pretty well done. To add, if you love Gomorrah, Suburra or Romazzo Criminale, this one is for you. A truly gem's genre.

Shows like this come along only once in a very long while. An American shipping magnate that has had to resort to concealing illegal shipments to help his ailing business, an Italian mafia family and Don that is looking to come out of hiding and reward everyone (including his enemies) with a huge payday, and a Mexican Army Elite Troop who's job it is to take down the Narcos. Combine these three elements, add extra intrigue, changing allegiances, amazing cinematography, settings on more than three continents, incredible tension building episodes and you have ZeroZeroZero. Ignore the naysayers on this site, this is one of the best shows you will see for a long time. Acting, photography, direction, are all first class. This is an incredible piece of TV that deserves to be up there with the very best.

If Charles Dickens had written an epic cartel/mafia/"Gomorrah"/"Narcos" hybrid script it would have looked something like this: a bingeable, epic, gripping, international crime thriller. A very smart, complex, brutal, clear-eyed script with three major story-lines: Buyers, Sellers, Brokers. Excellent production values; impressive level of detail, a cast of hundreds and some astonishing performances.
