Amazon Prime VideoA typical day at Lochmill Capital is upended when armed thieves burst in and force Zara and her best friend Luke to execute their demands. In the aftermath, conflicted detective Rhys races against time to find out who stole £4 billion pounds of people's pensions and why.
“Steal” is a well-made series with crisp editing, fine performances, and serviceable writing and direction, but at times the plot gets bogged down in exposition about financial subterfuge and somewhat arbitrary moments of betrayals. There’s an awful lot of talk about “cold wallets,” which are basically the floppy disks of 2020s spy thrillers. It’s decidedly un-sexy stuff. The best thing about “Steal” is the unvarnished and deliberately messy lead performance by Sophie Turner as Zara, a member of the trade-processing team at Lochmill Capital.
Steal (2026) Prime Video Review: Inside the Twisty British Heist Thriller Everyone’s Talking About.Sophie Turner’s Performance: The Beating Heart of Steal. Across reviews, one consensus stands firm: Sophie Turner is the show’s greatest strength. Her portrayal of Zara Dunne is unvarnished, messy, and magnetic, balancing terror, humor, vulnerability, and steely resolve. Critics describe her as a “cornered terrier,” grounding the show’s wild turns with emotional authenticity.
