Zero Day - Netflix

[Jimmy McGill]

Came out this week. DiNero is pretty damn good in it.

I won't post any spoilers

 

[Aardvark86]

what's the general premise?

 

[BonzoFury]

Framework? I’m curious

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Cyberattack happens at the opening, causing deaths of over 3,400.

DiNero was a one term president who resigned after his son died in first term.

The current POTUS brings back her predecessor to run a commission to investigate.

Basically a country on fire. Pretty relevant to our current real world situation.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

The rest of the cast is pretty damn good as well.

Let me know if any of you like it.

without even having seen it, i can already say this would have been SO much better if they'd cast Jean Claude Van Damme in the lead.

Isn't he hanging with Seagal in Russia?

is he? i mean i purposely avoided selecting seagall for the gag for that reason.

There was a while back in the 80s and 90s where all Seagall movies had three word titles, and all Van Damme movies two.

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

I may check it out. Show recommendations on HROT have been generally very good.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

It has Matthew Dodine, Angella Basett and Jesse Plemons and a ton of others.

 

[TennNole17]

Any boobies?

Agreed…DiNero is just too damn old now.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Nope. Sorry.

Matthew Modine is a very underrated actor, IMHO.

 

[Finance85]

I watched it. Pretty good. I spent the time thinking of how it could actually happen today. Not quite like House of Cards, but really good for a mini-series. DeNiro was a good choice based on the overall plot.

So without looking then I'm assuming "Hard Target" was a Van Damme movie?

I can't keep up. Trying to watch Vikings with Mrs. Alaska while watching Reacher S3 and Daredevil rewatch in prep for S4. I've got The Night Agent S2 up next along with Primeval. I think April has a lot of new shows coming too like The Last of Us S2.

I was really liking it until the end of episode 1. Then they threw in a twist that could be interesting in its own right, but I hope they don't go there.

He's really Jack Byrnes?

Reacher S1 was excellent. Reacher S2 disappointed. So I almost didn't watch the new season. But the first episode was very cool. I don't want to give anything away, but it's worth watching even if you don't care to watch the rest.

But the first episode was very cool.

Of Zero Day or Reacher S3? I like Reacher regardless--mindless entertainment unlike Jack Ryan where you do have to think a bit (and listen)

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Zero Day ends well. Fantastic series. Again, I'll point out this is the first television series for Bobby D

Better than the Vikings IMHO

Better than the Vikings IMHO

I'm already in S5, so can't stop now. It's better than GoT S8, that's for sure!

I hear ya. I'm going to try to get back to finishing Primeevil this weekend. I wanted to watch all of Zero Day before I read a spoiler.

I'll probably watch it again sometime in the future.

De Nero is nothing but a washed up has been.

As opposed to a message board never been?

Seeing Matthew Modine these days makes me feel old.
Private Joker is 65 now.

Th single review I read for this show was pretty brutal. Basically a ridiculous premise with very little that is believable.

Well, that review is bad IMHO. The plot is actually quite plausible.

i wouldn't take the time to watch De Niro even if he was doing a 1 person play in my back yard.

Always ask the most important questions first. Always been my policy.
