A 4-billion-dollar heist drags an office worker right into the center of everything.
On an ordinary day in London’s financial hub, the City, an armed gang raids a workplace. Masked robbers forcefully select Zara, an employee in the trading department of Lochmill Capital, and her colleague Luke; within minutes, the largest heist in British history takes place. Amazon Prime Video’s six-part series Steal brings Game of Thrones’ Sansa Stark, Sophie Turner, to our screens with a completely different energy.
Created by Sotiris Nikias, the series builds a structure that blends Industry with Line of Duty. Hettie Macdonald (Normal People) and Sam Miller (I May Destroy You) sit in the director’s chair; this duo already knows the address for undeniably good TV. The true strength of the series is Turner’s performance: Zara is messy, intelligent, and vulnerable—in other words, believable. Met with a 77% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the series received four out of five stars from The Guardian’s critic.
Although it is said that the “cold wallet” jargon occasionally slows down the momentum, the general consensus is clear: Steal is the kind of binge-worthy series that keeps the audience glued to the screen, finishing in a single breath during the first week of the year.
