Zero Day has built a real following in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix among viewers who want their action grounded in something real. The show says what it needs to say in a single season, no filler. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Robert De Niro brings a physicality to the role that elevates every sequence. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Zero Day earns its spot. The choreography in Zero Day serves the story instead of interrupting it. A former U.S. President is called out of retirement to find the source of a deadly cyberattack, only to discover a vast web of lies and conspiracies. Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons lead a cast that keeps the chaos grounded in who's actually at stake. It first aired in 2025. The geography of every set piece in Zero Day is legible, which is rarer in the genre than it should be. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Zero Day is the kind of thing you put on to unwind and find yourself sitting forward twenty minutes in. Fans of Secret State will recognise the sensibility here immediately. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Robert De Niro's performance is the throughline that holds the bigger action elements together. Give it twenty minutes and decide — most viewers do not stop there.

Zero Day wrapped up in 2025, created by Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim and Michael S. Schmidt — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
