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.

And so Omar becomes Zero, and goes from being invisible to being a hero thanks to his own invisibility.
