Zero Day asks the question on everyone’s mind -- how do we find truth in a world in crisis, one seemingly being torn apart by forces outside our control? And in an era rife with conspiracy theory and subterfuge, how much of those forces are products of our own doing, perhaps even of our own imagining?

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Zero Day has plenty of gravitas thanks to its all-star cast led by Robert De Niro, but this high-concept series' plotting is a little too goofy for it to take itself so seriously.

Graeme Blundell The Australian There are some compelling, grandiose themes and they don’t always cohere all that consistently, but it’s a drama that grabs you by the throat from the start and hurtles towards a surprising conclusion. Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Peter Travers ABC News Robert De Niro, as a former POTUS with integrity, shines in his first crack at series TV, but the double Oscar winner and a top cast are trapped in a muddled, political thriller about cyber terrorism that is nowhere near as smart as it thinks it is . Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Sam Adams Slate What we get instead is a pundit-brained muddle designed to exploit national anxieties while studiously avoiding any hint of a point of view, riffing on recognizable figures but ignoring the context that produced them. Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu Despite a dazzling Jesse Plemons and Dan Stevens chewing the scenery with twinkly-eyed sincerity, as well the presence of heavy hitters like Robert De Niro and Angela Bassett, the mini-series fails to engage May 16, 2025 Full Review Brian Farvour The Playlist ...“Zero Day” ultimately lacks any defining elements that could render it, at minimum, a memorable six-episode experience. However, the energy and momentum never lag to the point that switching over to anything else feels needed. Rated: B- Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier The plot was potentially good, but the series falls flat. There is no tension in something that should have had tension in its DNA. Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Gregory Z I only got through about 3/4 of first episode, pacing was slow, it felt like it was written by AI, I think it is time for Bobby to ride off into the sunset, not believable as a president unless he was trying to play Biden. I have better things to do with my time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Matt M Interesting take on political thrillers. Kept me engaged, but don't go out of your way to see it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/21/25 Full Review Dario S Avvincente, un grande Deniro, ogni membro del cast incredibile, bello con una trama che ovviamente pone l'accento su una società che realmente affronta o rischia di affrontare determinati problemi, romanzata si ma non di certo fantascientifica. Da guardare tutta d'un fiato Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Fang N It's a simple story but with good writing. And Robert De Niro makes it more than worth it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Chris P Entertaining, compelling and thought provoking. Raises moral questions we all should consider. Thrilling television in all respects. Multi-dimensional characters and a plot that keeps you guessing. More series of this quality would be very welcome! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Beach B Wow. This is so bad I couldn't watch the first episode to the end. Corny dialogue and a ridiculous plot. Is anyone so naive they believe this is anything close to reality? It's childish.
