ZeroZeroZero - Sky Original - (**Spoilers**)

lertsnim

I wonder why it took Sky so long to show a Sky original. I imagine many have already seen it via other methods.

personally would consider this more an Amazon production given that they released it pretty much a year ago.

most of Sky's solo work is pretty poor on the whole

e.g. that Gangs of London muck would be typical of their work - initially glossy but ultimately crap.

Gabriel Byrnes son reminded me of Alfie Allen which makes him very unlikeable indeed

otherwise it was stylish and enjoyable if not exactly over original

show is very watchable so far. episode 2 was well done. its a massive step down in quality from Gomorrah which is made by the same guy. but still ok. no more than 7/10 from me.

you can't really make a series rating after 2 episodes tbh

personally I liked it better than Gomorrah (the tv series) overall.

It was on Sky in other regions last May, just later coming to Ireland and the UK.

Watched the first two episodes and found it a bit ponderous. It aims for a big global sweep of the drugs trade but I couldn't connect with the characters or the pace.

I tend to agree, I wasn't that impressed with Sky stuff

However I quite liked gangs of London up until the last couple of episodes

is it as good as Narcos Mexico?

you have to give it another couple of episodes.

the two siblings are a bit annoying initially but get developed more as it goes along.

its not reinventing the wheel , thats for sure

It's subjective to be fair. I think I preferred Narcos Mexico on balance but Zero Zero Zero is worth a watch and others may think it's better.

watched the first two episodes last night, very impressed so far

what's the illness the young lad has?

Not sure , got much better after the first 2-3 episodes I found

I moved on to 'The Night Of' which I immediately liked and six episodes in am really enjoying.
I guess life is too short and there are too many box sets!

fryup

i'm 4 episodes in and i think its excellent

what's with the corrupt soldier listening to religious podcasts? is it to clear his conscience?

I found it very good. Similiar style and feel to the Sicario movies.
I thought the best bits were with the Mexican drug cartel/deserter soldiers.

I wasn't particularly convinced by the Lynwood family story arc but Andrea Riseborough's performance was impressive.

That, and in the first place I suppose, moral justification for a clear conscience.

Watched this a few weeks back, very good series and I’m hoping for a second series with different characters like Fargo

Not happening.

Article from last week.

https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/02/05/zerozerozero-season-2/

IS ZEROZEROZERO SEASON 2 CONFIRMED?

No, there will be no ZeroZeroZero season 2. The creator has confirmed this in interviews, explaining that it’s a mini-series.

Speaking with Variety, creator Stefano Sollima said:

“No. ZeroZeroZero is actually a mini-series. It’s eight episodes, and the season ends there.”

Finished it last night and thought it was excellent! excellent acting, excellent script, excellent storyline.

Loved the way they reran a scene showing it from a different perspective, and also liked the way in some episodes the opening credits didn't start until a quarter of the way in, very unique.

The star of the series for me was Dane DeHaan the guy who played Chris, he's an oscar winner in the making..and if they ever make a David bowie biopic surely he'll have to play the leading role he's the spit of him.

Sicario 2 & ZZZ are directed by the same person, Stefano Sollima. He's one of the best directors around in my opinion. He's one of the only directors I can think of that has managed to make two top class series, Gomorrah & Romanzo Criminale. All his other work varies for good to very good, so I'm looking forward to whatever he does next.
