In the wake of a devastating cyber attack, a former President (Robert De Niro) is tasked with finding the perpetrators and seeking truth when another attack is imminent — but is the greatest threat a foreign power, or from within?

The new limited series ZERO DAY is the first series for Robert De Niro and premieres February 20.
 
Watched it all this weekend and thought iit was really excellent. All of the cast performed great and the whole series was a bit of a thrill.
 
Binged this over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Enough twists and turns to keep me interested and fine performances from De Niro and Caplan
 
Binged this over the weekend with the wife.

Really enjoyed it, with a few twists and turns, and as expected a great performance by De Niro, as well as plenty of other fairly big name actors
 
Just finished this and I was quite disappointed tbh, was tempted to give up around episode 3/4 but as it was only 6 episodes long I stuck with it.

5.5/10. Was gonna be a 5, the extra .5 is for the amazing Lizzy Caplan.

The scope of the story wasn't really done justice, I would say they needed a couple of extra episodes to explain some backstory and clear up a few loose ends. BUT, the big reveal was so disappointing that maybe the extra length wouldn't have helped. De Niro, Bassett, Plemmons and Modine were very good as they are in most stuff, but they just dialled in their performances and took the Netflix cash. A (political)thriller should live or die on the story and that part was ultimately underwhelming and quite weak (like so many Netlfix Original shows and movies these days).

Gave the second episode a go tonight, didn’t make it to the end. On paper it sounds up my street but couldn’t stay interested, quite underwhelming.
 
Some good performances but found it rather dull until we got to the final episodes. A must for people who like seeing De Nero's face and eye.
 
Liked it, 6 episodes felt like a decent run with the pacing, liked the few twists and turns but the ending fell a little flat and felt bit on the nose especially with what's currently happening in the US.

Always good to see Lizzy Caplan getting more work.
