Very good show. The storyline, the acting, the casting, the director did a great job. Disregard the negative hype. I would've loved for the show to continue.

Nothing about it warrants a single negative review. Realistic and made with good taste. Surprised really that it's a French production, but definitely better than most British productions. Those are actually slow and annoying. Filmed in many countries and with actors from many different backgrounds and the common thing is they all performed to the highest standards. They all suited their roles perfectly. High praise for the casting agency of course.

Some negative reviews claim it's "slow". But these people just want car chases and gunfights without story. That's why we end up with the superhero movies n shows of today. Coz viewers have no taste. Toxic fan bases ruined great many shows. Unfortunately the average iq was lowered from 115 to 100. So the average viewer has no understanding of storyline n no patient for the story to develop. The story here is very good. Realistic. Actors from all over the world are relatable, believable, and the casting was just perfect. I highly recommend this show. No faults so far. Unfortunately it's a mini series. Also some negative reviews complain about the slaughter of a pig. Pigs are slaughtered every day everywhere. People just don't wanna see it happen that's all. Well it happens. Not enough reason not to watch a show. The pig would've ultimately died a worse death in mass production in slaughterhouses all over the world. Reality is worse than the screen. That's a fact. Horror fans enjoy watching people slaughtered and tortured but when it comes to animals dying a better death than what happens in reality they cry. But they'll still eat McDonald's n kfc while those are the actual torturers of animals. Animals will die best thing is to do it as humanely as possible. And no electrocuting them isn't humane at all. Don't try sticking a fork in an electric outlet, coz u know how a fraction of a second will feel. Imagine having it done all the way til death. That's the reality. SMH.

One last thing. The Don's car plate number has 666 in it. Is it a coincidence?

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.

This is one of the most well shot, well written miniseries I have ever seen, and yet nobody I talk to has ever heard of it (I myself heard of it from a podcast completely unrelated to tv/movies). Amazon definitely needed to promote this better.

To me, this felt like one really long film rather than a miniseries, and I mean that in the best way possible; there is very little discontinuity or downtime as each episode rolls on. The story itself is a tightly woven tale of 3 parties from 3 different countries involved in an international cocaine shipment, and it is executed wonderfully. The suspense is high and action nearly constant after the first episode, which admittedly takes a minute to get going, so be sure to give it a chance as it has to set the rather complicated story up.

The thing that shocked me the most was the production quality; Amazon must have spent a fortune on this because the set pieces, camera work, cinematography, acting etc. Are all top notch, and each episode feels like a film production. There are some rather breathtaking hover shots over exotic landscapes, and the locations felt authentic.

The show utilizes a "rewind" cinematic technique throughout that I thought was rather unique and well executed. At certain points the story will seemingly jump forward in time, and as things begin to converge and confusion sets in (as in, "what the hell did I miss?"), the timeline will rewind and you are given the missing details from a different character's perspective. It's executed extremely well, and adds additional suspense to an already wild show. You'll know these moments are about to happen because the camera slows and cued music begins to play for great effect.

If you don't mind reading a lot of subtitles (roughly 2/3 of the show) and this sounds interesting, definitely check it out. It's the best kept secret on Amazon.

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.

This is a cracking series. Action packed across more countries than you can point a stick at. Really entertaining plot, good acting, great casting and really good script.

Gripping and bingeable!
