Netflix's latest political thriller, Zero Day, has ignited discussion among viewers since its release on February 20. The series, which stars Hollywood icon Robert De Niro and Lizzy Caplan, follows a devastating global cyber attack and the ensuing investigation led by a former US president.
Created by Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim, and Michael Schmidt, and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter, the show features a star-studded cast including Angela Bassett as President Evelyn Mitchell. The trailer depicts the president announcing the attack and appointing De Niro's character to head the Zero Day Commission, sparking intrigue among fans.
One viewer praised De Niro's performance as 'haunting and exceptionally thrilling', while another called the cyberattack vibe 'wild'. The series marks De Niro's first major television role, and he has shared that he spends much of his time watching children's shows like The Wiggles and Ms Rachel with his 20-month-old daughter, Gia.
