The Storyline
An inside conspiracy led to efforts to fix the problems that plague society, causing 3,000 indirect deaths and directly assassinating others. And the commission against them, with unbridled powers wielded by an aging ex-politician with mental health issues.
Political extremism is so prevalent that it’s genuinely affecting politics and, in turn, society as a whole. It seems that nowadays, when you vote for a president, you’re picking just one or the other. Every step in their investigation somehow has a brick wall or an extreme solution to be taken next. The systematic murder of loose ends and refuseniks who declined to participate also seems pretty realistic.
It took effort and close attention to understand the whole “Who killed Bambi” thread, and the revelation wasn’t tied back to the story in a satisfying way.
The Cast
No words can describe Robert De Niro; his powerful performance in every scene is the glue holding up this entire series. All supporting actors, especially Angela Bassett, were perfect for their roles.
Should You Watch This?
Zero day should not be missed. Here he’s on the right side of the so-called long arm of the law, which, eventually behind the curtains, turns out to be unlawful. both in the real and the virtual world. His presence was so strong that all other actors’ thoughts would fade out.
