Zero Day 2025 Web Series S01 Review
The story follows George Mullen (De Niro), a revered former U.S. President who is pulled out of retirement by current President Evelyn Mitchell (Bassett) to lead the Zero Day Commission. The commission’s task is to investigate a catastrophic cyberattack—dubbed “Zero Day”—that cripples the nation’s infrastructure, kills over 3,400 people, and threatens more chaos with the prospect of another strike. As Mullen digs deeper, he uncovers a tangled web of conspiracies, deceit, and power struggles, all while grappling with personal regrets and hints of his own mental decline. The setup is gripping: a nation in crisis, a seasoned leader thrust back into the spotlight, and the looming question of who—or what—is behind the attack.
The series kicks off with a strong premise that taps into real-world anxieties about cybersecurity and political instability. The first episode sets an intense tone, with the cyberattack’s immediate aftermath—planes falling from the sky, traffic lights failing—creating a visceral sense of urgency. De Niro’s presence as Mullen anchors the show with gravitas; his portrayal of a man burdened by past losses (notably the death of his son) and a fading grip on reality adds depth to what could have been a stock “heroic ex-leader” role. The supporting cast shines too: Plemons as Mullen’s loyal but troubled aide, Caplan as his estranged daughter, and Bassett as a decisive yet enigmatic president all bring nuance to their roles. Visually, the show is polished, with a muted, tense aesthetic that suits its thriller vibe.
