Robert De Niro Netflix Thriller ‘Zero Day’ Utterly Fails an Overqualified Cast: TV Review

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve got to say that “Zero Day,” directed by Lesli Linka Glatter, who’s famous for “Love & Death,” and created by Eric Newman of “Narcos” fame, along with journalists Noah Oppenheim and Michael S. Schmidt, has some big names attached. However, it’s important to note that there have been allegations against Oppenheim regarding blocking reporting on Harvey Weinstein, which he denies. But what really caught the attention of the two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, at an impressive 81 years old and taking on his first series lead role, was this very project. It’s quite intriguing, yet unfortunate that a show that, spanning six episodes, manages to be both sluggish and hurried at the same time, is what attracted such a talented actor like De Niro to the small screen.

This post focuses on the evolution of the game’s opening screens, which underwent numerous alterations following discussions, tests, and, inevitably, mistakes.

Players seemed to glance over it without interest or excitement. The design of the capsule was criticized for not having enough visual impact to attract players or quickly communicate what the game was about. For example, one user, lordrotan, commented, “It doesn’t feel like a game, and I don’t understand the ‘be the slime’ concept.” This feedback underscores the importance of ensuring that the visual elements of a game align with its story and mechanics to prevent it from becoming overlooked in a competitive marketplace. The developer aimed to stand out, not blend into obscurity.
