If you've ever wished Guy Ritchie would just keep making slick London heist thrillers forever, Prime Video has heard your prayers. The streaming service's latest offering, Steal, is a six-episode adrenaline shot of masked gunmen, jaw-dropping double-crosses, and a £4 billion robbery that kicks off in the very first episode. It's basically a love letter to fans of Snatch and The Gentlemen, but with a twist that keeps you guessing long after the credits roll.
The real hook here is Sophie Turner, who plays Zara Dunne, a seemingly ordinary trade processor at a pension management firm. When armed men storm the office and force everyone to execute a heist at gunpoint, Zara does what any of us would: she tries to survive. But Steal isn't just about the robbery—it's about the aftermath, and the growing suspicion that Zara might have known more than she let on. Turner, fresh off her post-Game of Thrones renaissance in projects like Joan and Trust, delivers a performance that's already earning some of the best reviews of her career. She plays the ambiguity perfectly, keeping you on edge without ever tipping into melodrama.
The show currently sits at a solid 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's easy to see why. The heist itself is just the beginning; the remaining five episodes follow a tense, paranoid investigation led by DCI Rhys Covaci (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) as he tries to untangle who orchestrated the theft of pension funds and why. It's a smart pivot from heist to procedural, giving the series a different kind of momentum. Instead of watching the crime get assembled piece by piece, you're watching it get dismantled—and every time Rhys pulls one thread, two more unravel.
The supporting cast is equally compelling. Jonathan Slinger's "London" is a coolly menacing mastermind, while Andrew Howard's "Sniper" brings a volatile unpredictability that makes every scene feel like it could explode. The show earns its twists by planting them early and paying them off, rather than just lobbing shocking reveals at the wall. It's a tight, well-crafted thriller that knows exactly what it is: a propulsive, bingeable ride that never wastes your time.
Of course, Steal isn't reinventing the wheel. Some middle episodes could be tighter, and it leans on familiar tropes like the detective with personal baggage and the partner who's always one step behind. But the pacing is sharp enough that those bumps barely register when you're watching episodes back-to-back—which is clearly how this thing was designed to be consumed. If you've already binged The Gentlemen and worn out your Snatch Blu-ray, this is your weekend sorted. Just don't get too comfortable trusting anyone on-screen.
For fans of twisty thrillers, Steal joins the ranks of the best thriller TV series of the last 15 years as a must-watch. And if you're looking for more action-packed binges, check out why these action thrillers get even better with every rewatch. But for now, clear your weekend—Steal is waiting.
