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 03/14/2025
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. Go to Full Review Peter Travers ABC News 02/21/2025
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 . Go to Full Review Sam Adams Slate 02/20/2025
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. Go to Full Review Marta Medina Pérez mundoCine Aug 22
3.5/5
[Zero Day] doesn't stand out within the genre, but Robert De Niro’s leap to the small screen is undeniably an event worth watching. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Aug 4

This six-part series is well-paced, delivering a welter of surprises that help to rush us past holes in the plot. Go to Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu May 16
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 Go to Full Review Read all reviews

David W. @Djwphx Mar 29 Boring and convoluted. See more John F. @mooovieMan Feb 10 If Deniro hadn’t already jump the shark. He did it this time or should I say …over again. Say good night Or at least say you’re sorry. See more Schmiddi T @Schmiddi Jan 28 This feels like a best of great american actors. The acting is flawless and makes the show so much better. The Story is good but far from perfect. See more Jos C. @RT12044368 Dec 20 Couldn't believe the ending No father-daughter conversation and everybody wants to know how much time she got.. Left me wanting more.. See more chad D. @Chaddie Dec 19 This is a totally political show where the filmmakers threw a whole lot of wishful thinking in, Deniro was good, but the fictional politicians are completely unrealistic, and the clips of “news” is all MSNBC and CNN, no Fox or Newsmax, so you know where the intended message is coming from, still 4 stars because it was sort of hollow compared to deep shows like House of Cards, but still a really good story. See more Emily Haywood Scarfe T @em777 Nov 27 Very dull, nothing really hooks you in as a viewer See more Read all reviews
