AVERAGE

TRUTH HAS BEEN WEAPONIZED.

After a massive cyber attack that leaves thousands of people dead, former President George Mullen (Robert De Niro) is hired to lead an investigative commission with extraordinary powers.

A political thriller that aims to address everything we fear about the current climate, from vulnerable tech solutions in our everyday lives to widespread lies that feed conspiracies to extreme polarization that erodes trust in all institutions.

Watchable while it lasts, with a cast full of pros, but not as sharp as it should have been, and too repetitive in the depiction of Mullen’s mysterious affliction.

2025-U.S. 307 min. Color. Created by Eric Newman, Noah Oppenheim, Michael Schmidt. Cast: Robert De Niro (George Mullen), Lizzy Caplan (Alexandra Mullen), Jesse Plemons (Roger Carlson), Joan Allen, Connie Britton, Dan Stevens, Angela Bassett, Matthew Modine. 

Trivia: Originally shown in six episodes.
