Close enough. Welcome back, Genocide Joe and Killer Kamala. 🦅🇺🇸

I am bitterly disappointed by this. It's got an interesting premise and an outrageous cast, but I just couldn't get into it at all. I didn't think the mystery was all that intriguing in the end, the characters were paper thin and Robert De Niro's character has some kind of cognitive decline which makes him an unreliable narrator, so you don't know what's going on, but I just found it annoying. The premise is decent enough to just play it straight and provide a solid political thriller, I just don't think it needs all that added nonsense.

Not for me, very underwhelming. 



Zero Day has an interesting premise and is loaded with big names and faces. I didn't want to count it out too early, but as the limited series went on, I was wishing for more direction and momentum towards the actual finish. By the finale, is was apparent that most of the interesting things from the first 2/3 of the run were red herrings and the mystery was sorted out in one swoop at the finish line. Where my biggest gripe lies, is that the series was doing it's best to roll together every major conspiracy in recent history into one story, and it became more exhausting than it did entertaining. Maybe I'm losing my mind or maybe my mind is being tampered with (zero day joke), but this lands in the neither good nor bad but ultimately forgettable bucket of TV.
