Zero Day

It was an enjoyable show, though the pacing lagged somewhat in the middle. However, the final episodes were engaging and held my attention much more. The series featured a well-regarded cast, good performances, and a storyline that felt plausible and important. As with most films and shows, there were moments that required some suspension of disbelief, so it wasn't flawless-but then again, what is these days? Ultimately, it delivered on its primary purpose: entertainment.

Rather than relying solely on others' opinions, I encourage you to watch it yourself. With only six episodes, it's a worthwhile experience, and you may find your own perspective on it.

I watched all 6 episodes in 1 sitting. Kept me wanting more all the way through. I normally sleep by the 3rd episode, but it kept me going. Strong acting by all. I would however not go as far as calling it a classic, maybe because I've seen much better from De Niro. The pacing was good, episodes not too short, not too long. It does feel a bit rushed in the end. Maybe another 2 episodes would have been better. I dont forsee a 2nd season, though i think it would be great. If you liked the series your honor, definately you will enjoy this series. Overall a good 5 hrs well spent. From South Africa and no Land Grabs here.

Opens well, gets the hook sequence underway quite quickly, but then subsides into the standard formula of who was it and conspiracies that are going to play out til the last episode. It's slick but not intelligent. There's enough to keep you watching to see where its going, De Niro is great, but it just feels too cheesy. I'm impressed by location shots and I get it references current political sentiment in a benign sort of way. It also is an easy one to see telegraphed character moves.

Some scenes are a bit altruistic, which don't seem to gel with the real worlds happening of the story, but overall it's one of they few new stories that you will keep going until you while the mystery of who done it, and the key characters multiple facades come undone.

"Zero Day" is a gripping mini-series that stands out with its compelling storyline and outstanding performances. Tackling some of the most pressing issues of our time-cybersecurity, political intrigue, and global threats-it invites viewers into a high-stakes game of strategy. Starring Robert De Niro in the lead role, the series goes beyond being just a political thriller by offering deep character exploration and a cleverly constructed narrative.

The story follows former U. S. President George Mullen as he steps back into action to uncover the truth behind a devastating cyberattack that has thrown the country into chaos. Beyond delivering action and suspense, the show skillfully addresses themes such as the nature of power, media manipulation, and the role of technology in politics. The pacing is well-balanced, ensuring that the plot remains engaging without feeling rushed, keeping viewers hooked with every episode.

The cast is another strong point of the series. De Niro's charismatic and seasoned performance brings a remarkable sense of authenticity to his character. The supporting actors also deliver impressive performances, maintaining the tension throughout the show. Additionally, the high production quality, cinematography, and immersive atmosphere make for a visually and emotionally satisfying experience. In conclusion, "Zero Day" is a must-watch for fans of political thrillers and cybersecurity narratives, offering a thought-provoking and exhilarating journey.

The series starts well but loses its pace soon after in the name of investigation. The audience keeps wondering when the actual investigation would take place, as it focuses on everything from personal demons to surrounding pressures except the core investigation. It takes until Episode 5 (out of 6 episodes) for the series to truly get going, and the last two episodes are undoubtedly the best of this series.

Robert De Niro excels, and I think there's no doubt about his acting prowess. However, I feel a powerful actor like Angela Bassett was underutilized, and somehow her performance isn't up to the mark, possibly due to a sub-par script and weak dialogues.

Overall, it's a slow, uneventful series that has a very interesting and engaging plot on paper, but the makers fail to capitalize on it. It only truly excels because of the powerful acting and the strength of its final two episodes.
