“Zero Day” is a must-watch onNetflixthis week.
This new political thriller miniseries is a big deal for two reasons.
First, it’s Robert De Niro’s first starring TV role ever.
Adding Jesse Plemons, Connie Britton and Angela Bassett wasn’t going to hurt either.
But having now watched the entire six-episode limited series, I can confirm it lives up to the hype.
That’s not to say the show is perfect.
But the underlying conspiracy elements of the show are compelling and gripping.
But maybe you’re still undecided on whether or not to watch “Zero Day.”
However, his political opponent is arguably the best performance of the movie.
Matthew Modine plays Speaker of the House Richard Dreyer and he plays the perfect foil to De Niro.
Aside from De Niro and Modine, there’s a range of performances.
But Anglea Bassett felt underutilized as President Mitchell.
It’s a surprisingly understated role given the caliber of actress she is.
But there’s a difference between politics and proselytizing.
Some of the political elements work.
So start streaming “Zero Day” on Netflix now and enjoy this addictive political thriller.
Then once you’re done, check out everything elsenew on Netflix in February 2025.
