Zero Day

This is the best out of Netflix in a Looooong time for me. And how the hell is Angela Bassett 66 years old ??? She is Smoking Hot.

I enjoyed the series, mostly i felt this could and can and is actually happening already in USA today, with Trump and Musk and the attack on the democracy and proud Boys and BLM and riots.

Its just that Americans dont see it.

Open your eyes and witness the dismantling of the state, the transfer of wealth and power from the middle class, to the ultra rich and their friends.

Goodbye America.

It was nice knowing you, and i really enjoyed your company. Now i am off to sell my Tesla and invest in Europe.

The main premise of this show is that of the review title.

It's an engaging thriller that makes some intriguing points and by all means, does it well. It peaks your interest and it does it through top acting and reasonably good cinematography.

But what it isn't is anything more. Potential strong plot points are either undone by sloppy plot holes or lack of clarity come the end. Multiple moments that felt like they were building towards a great climax also frequently petered out into mediocrity.

Overall the series was done well. A great cast performance mixed with reasonably good writing, storytelling and cinematography produces what we have here in Zero Day.

It's nice, but I wouldn't say it's more than that.

7/10.

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.

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.

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.
