Prime Video has just added a new heist thriller ‘packed with twists’

The series is headlined by a Game of Thrones star.

The series centres around "the heist of the century" and the ordinary office worker, Zara (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, Lurker) to execute their demands," the plot synopsis states.

"Who would steal billions of pounds of ordinary people’s pensions and why? DCI Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, The Queen's Gambit) 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 centre of this far-reaching crime."

Created and written by crime author Sotiris Nikias, Steal landed on Prime Video today (Wednesday, 21 January) but is already being praised by critics for Turner's lead turn and the show's abundance of twists.

You can read some of these glowing write-ups below:

CBR: "Some might tune in to see if Sophie Turner can make good on her Tomb Raider casting to convert the naysayers. However, for anyone who turns a blind eye to this show, be warned, Steal has sleeper hit written all over it."

Collider: "Created by S.A. Nikias and starring Sophie Turner, the six-episode miniseries serves up twist after twist and stands as one of the strongest recent showcases of Turner's range as an actor."

Financial Times: "This is a lean, entertaining, no-fuss thriller, and in Turner, an unlikely new Bruce Willis may just have been born."

The Guardian: "This breathless and hugely entertaining financial heist show isn’t just packed with twists. It’s a clever meditation on the evil of money – in which you’re rooting for the Game of Thrones star."
