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.

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.
