Apple TV hopes to lure you in with this dramatic cyber-thriller starring Leo Woodall, and only available to watch streaming on Apple TV Plus.

“Prime Target,” an eight-episode thriller premiering Wednesday on Apple TV+, has the juicy vibe of a novel you might pick up at an airport and rip through in a single flight. It has an outlandish premise, beautiful people, and it ends on a cliffhanger every episode.

Now, along comes Prime Target, an eight-part thriller from Apple TV+. This show does not fall into the bracket of the previous examples.

A formulaic eight-part thriller, Prime Target revolves around an outstanding but standoffish Cambridge postgrad mathematician called Edward, whose esoteric research into prime numbers sequences inadvertently gives him the tools to access any computer and control the entire digital world.

Prime Target starts with a captivating concept that blends intellectual puzzles with espionage, but stumbles due to uneven pacing, repetitive exposition, and melodrama that undercuts its potential.

With a lead who's out of his depth and an absurd plot, the new Apple TV+ series rarely amounts to anything worthwhile, writes our reviewer.
