ZeroZeroZero is an intense and gritty TV drama that follows the journey of a large shipment of cocaine as it travels from Mexico to various parts of the world. The series was produced by the Italian network Sky Atlantic, and it originally premiered in 2019. The show is loosely based on the book of the same name by Roberto Saviano, and it features an all-star cast including Andrea Riseborough, Dane DeHaan, and Giuseppe De Domenico. The storytelling in ZeroZeroZero is masterful, with each episode featuring multiple threads that weave together over the course of the season. The series takes us through the intricate web of players who are involved in the drug trade, including the Mexican cartels who produce the cocaine, the Italian mafia who transport and distribute it, and the powerful brokers who make sure the drugs reach their final destinations. Spanning continents, the series takes place in several countries, including Italy, Mexico, the United States, and Senegal. At the heart of the show are the family members who run one of the biggest Italian shipping companies. The Lynwoods, as this family is known, have a decades-long relationship with the American brokers who buy the drugs from the cartels. After a brief hiatus, the Lynwoods have been enticed back into the drug trade, and we watch as they work to secure one of the biggest hauls of cocaine ever assembled. Andrea Riseborough stars as Emma Lynwood, the cool, calm and collected matriarch of the family. She is both quietly formidable and fragile, and her performance is an anchor for the series. Dane DeHaan plays Chris Lynwood, her troubled son. Chris is struggling with addiction and feeling a deep sense of dissatisfaction with his life, and his behavior is a constant source of worry for his mother. Giuseppe De Domenico plays Manuel Contreras, a member of the Mexican cartel who has just inherited his father's position. Manuel's story is one of the most compelling in the series, as we watch him try to navigate his new position of power while also contending with rival gangs who are vying for control. The show is visually stunning, with breathtaking shots of epic landscapes and intense action sequences that are both brutal and beautiful. The production values are top-notch, and the show feels cinematic in scope. The music, too, is an integral part of the series, with a haunting score and a soundtrack that features artists as diverse as Johnny Cash, Run The Jewels and The National. The writing in ZeroZeroZero is top-notch, with a realistic and nuanced portrayal of the drug trade that doesn't shy away from the violence and corruption that are inherent in the industry. While the series certainly has its fair share of action and violence, it never feels gratuitous or exploitative. The characters are fully realized and multi-dimensional, and we become deeply invested in their fates. The dialogue is sharp and emotionally resonant, and the tension is consistently high throughout the series. Ultimately, what sets ZeroZeroZero apart from other shows about the drug trade is its focus on the people involved, rather than the drugs themselves. The series is a character study of sorts, exploring the motivations and psychology of the individuals who are driven to participate in the illegal and dangerous world of drug trafficking. It is a dark and violent show, to be sure, but it is also a deeply human one. Fans of intense drama and complex characters will find a lot to love in ZeroZeroZero.
