Matt Roush says...

Reminiscent of cautionary Cold War fables like Fail Safe, this taut six-part political thriller juggles so many worst-case scenarios it could turn the viewer into a basket case. Robert De Niro makes a rare TV appearance as former president George Mullen, recruited out of retirement to head a commission to root out unknown terrorists responsible for a devastating though brief cyberattack on the U.S., followed by the warning “This will happen again.” Mullen combats disinformation and mob panic as his unregulated team stirs criticism of torture tactics, suggesting the cure may be worse than the disease. Those who know him best, including his wife (Joan Allen), estranged congresswoman daughter (Lizzy Caplan), right-hand man (Jesse Plemons) and former chief of staff (Connie Britton), all begin to question Mullen’s emotional and mental stability. If the lights go out again, will we be left in darkness? (See the full review here.)
