As former U.S. president turned special commission investigator George Mullen ( Robert De Niro) delivers a climactic closing speech in the final scene of Netflix's new political thriller Zero Day, it's this admission that gets to the heart of the show's message about the importance of truth in today's world.

The limited series, which premieres Feb. 20, comes from co-creators Eric Newman ("Griselda") and Noah Oppenheim ("Jackie"). Lesli Linka Glatter ("Homeland," "Mad Men" and "Love & Death") is an executive producer and director of all six episodes.
