Can’t decide what to watch tonight? One rarely goes wrong with a film or television show starring Robert De Niro. The 81-year-old two-time Oscar winner—who shows no sign of retiring—stars in Netflix’s new political thriller Zero Day, playing George Mullen, a former president of the United States. As head of the Zero Day Commission, Mullen is called in by the current president Evelyn Mitchell (Angela Bassett) to investigate a cyberattack that killed thousands and wreaked havoc across the country. If this all sounds like too much to bear, fear not, De Niro assures audiences that “right now, our actual world is scarier.” —Carolina de Armas
