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 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 Ronak Kotecha The Times of India It may not be flawless, but its gripping premise and solid execution make it worth a binge. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Juan José Beteta Cinencuentro ...Zero Day is a highly recommendable series: it offers an intriguing story, good elements of political suspense and personal drama, as well as a solid performance from Robert De Niro.

Richard W It was great. People needed to relax and just enjoy the movie. Its a fun action thriller. Relax and enjoy life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Sam H Lazy writing and bad acting. Another movie made by committee rather than someone with a passion for the art of film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Andrea F Very well built and fascinating (without saying potentially very actual) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Allie D The premise is fascinating, and there are parts where you feel like you are going to be completely enveloped in the plot only for it to drift off. Halfway through episode 3 I thought "honestly, I need to put my phone down, I'm missing too many details." So I started it again. It didn't help. The series sits on the edge of brilliant. But ultimately misses the mark on being exceptional. Worth a watch, but not a must watch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Darrin N Time to retire DeNiro. Just so repetitive Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Luciano G From episode to episode, nothing happens Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
