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 Marta Medina mundoCine [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] Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) This six-part series is well-paced, delivering a welter of surprises that help to rush us past holes in the plot. Rated: 4/5 Aug 4, 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 Read all reviews

Richard P Diniro is not what he was....once. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Peter K Great cast but expected so much more: this series started-out with a bang and ended with a whimper. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review D C We gave up after 3.5 episodes. Glacial pace and unlikeable characters. They've managed to turn an interesting premise into a snooze fest. Yet another bloated Netflix series that should've been a 2hr film. De Niro does his best with boring material. Jesse Plemons character was exceptionally irritating, a shame as he is a top actor. The daughter was a completely dull character too. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review David T Unwatchable dribble. Making the loser of my fantasy football binge watch this as punishment. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review Michael R Extremely good series. I really hope ppl watch. It had me interested the entire time. Kinda gives a house of cards feel Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Palyze P Acting might have been the only decent part of this netflix original. Some familiar faces. The “day zero outage” was such a short, sparse and non-factor part of the series; it didn’t instil any fear. The way they tried to implement new technology with “cyber hacking and bitcoin” was clearly included by boomers that are trying to cater to a younger demographic. You know what it is? In hollywood, everyone wears a fake face. The people that are watching and giving “a review” to the producers before the series is released, don’t want to be honest with them. “Oh yeah this is great, it’s going to be a hit!” is probably what the early viewers are telling the production crew. Then when it hits streaming platforms, the brutal truth comes out. It’s a terrible rendition of a possible - new day political crisis. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
