'STEAL' Reviews: What Critics Are Saying About Sophie Turner's Prime Video Thriller TV Show
STEAL is here!
Here’s a synopsis of the “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 work day at a pension fund investment company, Lochmill Capital, is upended when a gang of violent thieves burst in and force 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.”
STEAL is out now on Prime Video as of January 21, available as a six episode binge.

Steal currently has a 63% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Financial Times gave it a 4 out of 5, writing: “This is a lean, entertaining, no-fuss thriller, and in Turner, an unlikely new Bruce Willis may just have been born.”
RogerEbert.com says: “Sophie Turner is outstanding, and Zara is an undeniably complex and empathetic character. Steal leaves open the possibility of a Season 2. Give Zara a better adventure, and we’ll sign up.”
Digital Spy gave it a 2 out of 5, writing: “It’s telling that the best scenes in Steal are those that play out like a harrowing family drama rather than the crime heist it’s supposed to be. All this show will actually steal is your time.”
CBR gave it 9 out of 10, writing: “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 gave it 6 out of 10, writing: “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.”
