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 Mar 14, 2025
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. Go to Full Review Peter Travers ABC News Feb 21, 2025
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 . Go to Full Review Sam Adams Slate Feb 20, 2025
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. Go to Full Review Alex Bear Geek Girl Riot / RIOTUS Aug 27, 2026
Zero Day is a tense demonstration of the fallout from a catastrophic event that hits a little too close to home for comfort right now. Go to Full Review Marta Medina Pérez mundoCine Aug 22, 2025
3.5/5
[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] Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Aug 4, 2025

eabate3 T @RT96217111 Aug 29, 2026 I hear the critics but when the acting is this good it is still worth watching despite its flaws See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 17, 2026 A political thriller with a very current conspiracy premise and an impeccable Robert De Niro in the lead role. Although the initial mystery is captivating, the script loses some momentum midway through the narrative due to an excess of theories and an uneven pace. Still, it guarantees a tense, solid, and quite competent entertainment experience. See more Justin T @RT80774367 Jun 17, 2026 This could've been just a movie. All that for 8 hours of series. See more Cindy B. @RT06884515 May 31, 2026 Didn't get through episode 3 See more Jeff B @RT72741594 Apr 28, 2026 Well crafted , episode engaging , ulimately underwhelming See more David W. @Djwphx Mar 29, 2026 Boring and convoluted.
