Now, how many of us have wished for some superpower and thought that we could solve all our problems with that, Right? Well, Our protagonist in this story is a nobody. Whom no one notices and likes it that way. The storyline starts — while delivering pizza he meets a girl and falls head over heels, In the beginning, we assume that his superpower is to be nobody but soon we find ourselves a superhero. But not everything for him is sunshine and rainbows. Soon, He finds himself with some friends and starts enjoying life but not for too long. The story dabbles around the wish for humans to have a superpower and shows that being one doesn’t mean you can take shortcuts in every part of your life. It shows how he struggles to be on good terms with his dad which always seems impossible and not only is he a superhero but also a delivery guy and a comic writer. The story has gripping music and one of the best storylines of 2021. Netflix has outdone themselves in this web series. We have a mix of Drama, romance, comedy, action, psychology, and mystery. For me, it is at par with the Resident alien and we know how good was it. The place where the Zero is shot also fits perfectly with the story.

The directors of the show: Paola Randi, Ivan Silvestrini, Margherita Ferri, and Mohamed Hossameldin have made their mark on the industry with this. They didn’t flinch in presenting the horrors of the world and the illusion we live in, they also hint us to the solutions related to it. The actors take the storyline one step further and make us feel that we are also a part of the story.

Problems with the storyline:

  • The storyline is a little predictable and you can even predict season 2 just by watching the last scene of the show.
  • When our protagonist gets control over his powers why doesn’t he learns to fight or even at least have a gun with him?
  • There are small plotholes in the story that you will notice. Like we see one time police being involved with the syndicate but other times they are helping people which doesn’t make sense.
  • No background story of how the superpowers are running in the family.

Buy and large this series is one of the best of this year.

I would highly likely recommend this Web series and would rate it: 8.3/10
