Robert de Niro's paranoid political political series "Zero Day" ROCKS ASCEVERSE TEAM AND BEAUTIFUL PM: Cyber ​​-attack makes every piece of advanced technology in America not for a minute, causing destruction at the national level. With the threat of future attacks hanging over the country's collective head, it depends on the universally beloved former President George Mullen (De Niro) to solve the mysteries behind the attack.

Things become extremely complicated before the series ends with six episodes and De Niro is characteristic impressive in its first TV seriesso much that the horror legend Steven King called him scary. The show certainly gives De Niro a lot to be done, as it strongly suggests that Moulin's investigations are hampered by external forces or symptoms of dementia ... or, probably, both. The internal turmoil of the old president is manifested in the form of the song "Who Killed Bambi", from the 1979 album "The Sex Pistols" "The Great Rock" N 'Roll Swindle. The habit of appearing in Mullen's ears during some extremely awkward moments, becoming louder and more intrusive every time.

Honestly, too many times when I heard the song, the end of episode 4 finally reveals that "who killed Bambi" is nothing less than Mullen's darkest memory. Although he pushed him deep into his subconscious, the melody played on the radio when the former president revealed that his son, Nick (Acksexon Elk), died of overdose. The song knocked on the back of his mind whenever he stands out, as Mullen never learned to deal with Nick's death and continues to carry a great mental burden.

The chaotic, sneezing nature and unusual, verses filled with "who killed Bambi" make a perfect song for its role on Zero Day, because the show uses it to symbolize it for almost every mystery. The song is awkward enough that the viewer can buy as a malicious attack on the psycho-ops and indeed, the show has a fairly important line for a neurological weapon called Proteus, teasing that such a thing may be behind Mullen's problems. Since the combination of the song of the traditional orchestral arrangement and a punk punk vocal is clearly and deliberately off, it also works very well as an auditory sign that something may not be wrong with Mullen's mental faculties.

After all, it is an appropriate choice that "who killed Bambi" is associated with Mullen's biggest family tragedy. After all, near the end of the series, he reveals that his daughter, Alexandra (Lizzie Kaplan), is part of a zero day plot. Fortunately, Alexandra spares him from having to hand her to the authorities by force and decided to secure confession. Moreover, conspirators are powerful political players and Moulin's decision to discover their names will seriously hurt the country ... but it is still what needs to be done, and after learning the true nature of the song, Mullen actually manages to use "Who Killed Bambi" as a source of a string to do the right thing. While opinions can vary about how appropriate it is for a British punk to play a role in US political machinations, it is easy to admire the way Zero Day uses "that killed Bambi" so often and efficiently that the melody effectively has its own bow.
