ZeroZeroZero is a sprawling, hardly original drug drama enlivened by exciting action, bravura filmmaking and tangible atmosphere. And Andrea Riseborough shines as a queen bee in waiting.

It’s a credit to the writing and performances that ZeroZeroZero doesn't collapse under its zeal for bombast. Instead, this is a dark, exuberant cocaine opera, bleak escapism for long February nights.

If you like your crime dramas to come with sweaty palms, this one is irresistible.

I don't think ZeroZeroZero has the same emotional depth as Narcos, but from a visual standpoint, I'll give it the edge. As far as the performances go, DeHaan, Riseborough and Byrne are all solid, and though they're the only recognizable actors in the cast, that actually works in the show’s favor. .... If this show does prove to be a one-season wonder, its final minute is stunning.

Genre familiarity may make ZeroZeroZero less fresh, but it remains quite watchable, if you can ignore its vaguely nihilistic streak, thanks to a good cast, confident direction and cinematography that's really quite stunning at times.

A decent fix. It’s not the pure stuff, but it will tide you over. ... The American story line is the strength of “Zerozerozero” — when it’s onscreen, there’s more to watch than a coolly efficient international crime thriller.

ZeroZeroZero is surprisingly engaging given just how many locales and characters the viewer needs to keep track of.

This show is the Wire and Traffic minus the preaching. It is well acted and well directed. If you get the chance. Watch it. My only complaint is it takes an episode to get into it.

This was a pleasant surprise. Reminded me of Traffic. Andrea Riseborough is phenomenal.
