Zero spoilers follow.
We always knew a show in which one of the characters has the power of invisibility was going to have one or two twists in store, but the ending truly shifted Netflix s
Zero into new territory.
The Italian-language drama centres on Omar aka Zero (Giuseppe Dave Seke), a pizza-delivery guy who has his sights set on becoming a professional comic-book artist. Somehow, he has acquired the ability to disappear before our very eyes and he uses his gift to help his new group of pals – Shariff (Haroun Fall), Sara (Daniela Scattolin), Momo (Dylan Magon) and Inno (Madior Fall) – save their barrio (that s neighbourhood to you and I) from the grubby mitts of the ruthless Sirenetta Real Estate Agency.

As the next generation of DIY actors takes the big screens, it’s safe to say that Daniela Scattolin will be one the scene’s most promising new talents. However, she doesn’t limit herself to being just an exceptionally pretty face: at the other end of the line, she’s ready to dive deep into the cutthroat world of racial politics. “I was born and raised in Veneto, northern Italy, to a couple of Ghanaian origins and then I was adopted by my now-parents,” she tells me. “Growing up in northern Italy was exceptional for me. Exceptional in the truest sense of the word. Exceptional in the sense that it deviates from the norm because not many with my skin colour had such a potentially carefree childhood; and exceptional in the sense of incredibly beautiful because it allowed me to grow with simple but strong values.”

One day, however, Omar discovers that the invisibility he feels inside of him every day can be transformed into a genuine superpower: he can disappear at will. His new friends - Sharif (
Haroun Fall), Momo (
Daniela Scattolin) and Inno (
Madior Fall) – convince him to use this extraordinary gift for a good cause: he must save their beloved Barrio neighbourhood from acts of vandalism and from the designs of unscrupulous property developers who want to move people out of the area in order to build new luxury homes. And so Omar becomes Zero, and goes from being invisible to being a hero thanks to his own invisibility.

Antonio Dikele Distefano. This eight-episode production sees an Italian series placing a young, Italian man of colour at the heart of its story, for the very first time, supported by a wholly multicultural cast of young, second generation immigrants, to tackle themes such as diversity, inclusion, gentrification and the sense of belonging within an outer suburb of Milan which has never been shown before.
