Prime Video's latest British series, "Steal," is a gripping, high-stakes thriller where every decision feels momentous and every decision is crucial, where even the smallest detail can get you killed. The series premiered on January 21 with all six episodes, and stars Sophie Turner at the center of a financial takeover in which four billion pounds is stolen from an investment firm.
Produced by Amazon MGM Studios in collaboration with Drama Republic, the series is created and written by Sotiris Nikias and directed by Sam Miller (I May Destroy You) and Hettie Macdonald (Normal People).
Per the official synopsis, "Steal" is a contemporary, high-octane thriller about the heist of the century and the ordinary office worker, Zara (Sophie Turner), who finds herself at the heart of it. A typical workday at a pension fund investment company, Lochmill Capital, is upended when a gang of violent thieves bursts in and forces Zara and her best mate Luke (Archie Madekwe) to execute their demands. But who would steal billions of pounds of ordinary people's pensions and why? DCI Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) is determined to find out, but as a recently relapsed gambling addict, Rhys must keep his own money problems at bay while dealing with the secret agendas and competing interests at the center of this far-reaching crime.
In addition to Turner (Game of Thrones, Joan), Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (Bodies, The Queen's Gambit), and Archie Madekwe (Saltburn, Gran Turismo) deliver riveting performances that keep you on the edge of your seat.
"Steal" keeps you guessing from start to finish. The twists and turns never feel generic, keeping the plot interesting. Turner is absolutely fantastic, delivering an intense, grounded performance that makes the character completely relatable as she navigates a chaotic situation she never intended to find herself in.
The series is both suspenseful and thought-provoking. It isn't your typical run-of-the-mill thriller, but it challenges you to consider the uneven distribution of wealth in our capitalist society.
All episodes of "Steal" are streaming now on Prime Video.
