An all-star cast fails to elevate this lackluster conspiracy drama with no point of view The post 'Zero Day' Review: Robert De Niro Can't Save This Dull Dad TV Political Thriller appeared first on TheWrap.
The review of "Zero Day," a Netflix limited series, highlights its focus on a simulated congressional hearing exploring a catastrophic event, featuring Robert De Niro as former President George Mullen. The series, created by Eric Newman and Noah Oppenheim, delves into themes of national security, political accountability, and the aftermath of a global crisis. Despite its intriguing premise, the review notes that the series struggles with pacing and fails to fully capitalize on its potential for suspense and depth. De Niro's performance is described as solid but not particularly engaging, while the supporting cast, including Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Plemons, adds some depth. The series attempts to blend elements of political drama with speculative fiction but ultimately falls short in delivering a compelling narrative, leaving viewers with a sense of missed opportunity despite its high-profile cast and topical subject matter.
