Early Season’s Favorites : Paradise, Prime Target and Zero Day.

That all the hottest shows of the season seem to have something to do with tech or a tech wiz to feed the average viewer’s paranoia and interest is just more than coincidence considering the times we live in, I can’t but help presuming.

To reveal the genre of Paradise would be a spoiler in itself and unravels as a gripping thriller right from the first few scenes. Sterling K. Brown makes an impression and is in the company of James Marsden who refuses to age, apparently along with Julianne Nicholson and Sara Sahi – yes, she does her thing. The show does take a leaf out of the GoT book and put it to good use, IYKWIM. Can find it on Disney +.

Prime Target on Apple TV+ is probably best described as A Beautiful Mind meets The Da Vinci Code meets Good Will Hunting and have the likes of Leo Woodall, Sidse Babett Knudsen and Quintessa Swindell keeping us interested jn the proceedings on screen. Starts out like a slow burn nerd fest but shifts gears soon enough.

The latest to debut on Netflix, Zero Day marks the entry of none other than Robert De Niro to the streaming business – technically yeah Scorcese did that already – and you get to see an in form De Niro. “Meth Damon” makes a toned down appearance. The rousing monlogue early into the first episode is probably De Niro’s the finest moments in recent times though you may tend to disagree with the political rhetoric on display.
