Zero Day

Zero Day is a gripping and suspenseful series that stands out with its captivating storyline and stellar performances, especially from Robert De Niro. Set in a high-stakes environment where secrets and betrayal are at the forefront, the show does an excellent job of building tension and intrigue throughout. De Niro's portrayal of his character adds layers of complexity, grounding the narrative with his trademark depth. While the pacing may feel deliberate at times, it effectively adds to the build-up of suspense.

The series touches on timely themes of power, deception, and the fine line between justice and revenge, making it relevant and thought-provoking. The writing is sharp, with each episode weaving a rich tapestry of mystery and drama. The overall production quality is high, and the direction keeps you on edge, urging you to keep watching.

While the show may not offer an entirely groundbreaking plot, it's undeniably entertaining and keeps you invested until the very end. Overall, Zero Day is an intense, engaging series that will appeal to fans of thrillers, offering a solid 8/10 for its performances, storytelling, and tension-building.

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.

If you're into political thrillers then Zero Day is the show for you. This limited series is headed by an all-star cast led by the legendary Robert De Niro. De Niro gives one of his better performances of his career, the man is just incapable of giving a bad performance and this is no different. He's absolutely brilliant yet again. De Niro is as big as star as there is so for him to do a tv series you know that show would have to be special. While Zero Day isn't the best show that you'll see this year, it's still a very good show that's worth every second watching it. It's going to have most of you on the edge of your seat throughout the series, especially the last couple episodes. Some of it gets a little ridiculous but it's not based off a true story, just turn your brain off and enjoy it for the political thriller it is.

De Niro and Plemmons? Oh come on, where do I sign? The show was good. Not only on the whodunit premise, but on the complexity of politics, relationships, aspirations, trauma, guilt, resolution. We can never win it all, we can never have it all, and De Niro as the lead show cases that. Most we can accomplish when we enter the dance is that we leave it with our head held high by picking the road less travelled. And that's awfully hard and rare.

Plemmons was great too. I do feel he is becoming better with age.

Good cinematography, I enjoyed the pace and the performances. It's a slow burner but engaging. I do recommend it.

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.
