New Netflix miniseries starring Robert De Niro has viewers labeling thriller a '10/10'

Netflix fans are hailing a new political-thriller starring Robert De Niro a '10/10.'

The world's largest streaming platform isn't short of miniseries to watch, and while some of them are a bit older (but still worthwhile) like this 'breathtaking' crime drama fans are binging in one afternoon, they're also adding new TV shows as we speak.

This six-part series follows the fallout of a catastrophic 60-second cyber attack which sees more than 3,4000 Americans killed.

With the threat of another on the horizon, former US president George Mullen (De Niro) is pulled out of retirement to investigate the attack.

The six-part series released on February 20 (Netflix)

But with a 'sociopath billionaire' and CEO of a mega tech corporation behind the attack, Mullen needs to think fast to put an end to the life-altering chaos that's ensured.

From Narcos showrunner Eric Newman, the new series is called Zero Day.

It debuted on Netflix on Thursday February 20 and you can watch its nail-biting trailer below.

Zero Day's star-studded cast includes Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Gaby Hoffmann, Angela Bassett and Matthew Modine.

Posting to the Netflix Bangers Facebook group, one subscriber asked what people thought of the new miniseries.

"Brilliant!! Binged it in two days. Totally worth the watch," one fan responded, as a second admitted: "I’m honestly watching it again!!! Amazing and so informative!! Robert De Niro knocks out of the ballpark."

"De Niro at his acting best," a third said, as a fourth reckoned: "All of the world should watch it!!! The story line the acting - just wow!!"

Over on X, viewers were also singing the show's praises, rating it a '10/10'.

One person penned: "Moved onto Zero Day and it’s an intense show can’t lie I’m loving it. Cast is 10/10."

A second weighed in: "Zero Day was just exactly the quality mind boggling conspiracy theory movie I'd be dying to see for a while now.

"10 out of freaking 10!"

A third added: "Zero Day on Netflix is so good! Binged the whole thing in one night!!"

Another fan reckoned that the first four episodes are a 'little slow' but the final two make up for it.

However, the miniseries' Rotten Tomatoes scores don't appear to match up to its social media hype.

Critics have rated it a measly 56 percent across 54 reviews, with people complaining about some of the show's awkward dialogue.

Fans have rated it even lower at 49 percent - although among the negative reviews were plenty of people defending the 'edge-of-your-seat' show.

Zero Day is available to stream now on Netflix.
