Steal Debuts on Prime Video to Strong Reviews for Sophie Turner

The creator draws on real finance experience to ground the heist’s procedural detail.

Overview

  • All six episodes are now streaming on Prime Video after the January 21 launch, with broadly positive early reviews from major outlets.
  • Critics praise Sophie Turner’s lead turn and the taut opening hour, while several note midseason pacing issues and underdeveloped supporting characters.
  • The thriller begins with armed robbers forcing staff at London pension fund Lochmill Capital to execute trades that move billions via offshore accounts.
  • The aftermath triggers an investigation led by DCI Rhys, a recently relapsed gambling addict, as MI5 involvement raises the stakes.
  • Creator Sotiris Nikias, in his TV screenwriting debut, says the firm is modeled on a past employer, reinforcing the show’s focus on money, inequality and ethics.
