Leo Woodall’s new conspiracy thriller lands disappointing Rotten Tomatoes score
Leo Woodall’s new thriller series Prime Target has earned a meagre score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Following the acclaim of “The White Lotus” season 2 and “One Day,” Woodall’s most recent television project has failed to impress critics, earning a rating of only 43% based on 23 reviews as of now.
As a passionate gamer, I’d put it this way: In the thrilling world of Apple TV+’s series, I step into the shoes of Edward Brooks, a post-grad math whiz. My character unearths a shady plot to squash my groundbreaking work on prime numbers – a discovery that could shake the very foundations of mathematics!
Additionally, joining Woodall in the series are David Morrissey from The Walking Dead, Sidse Babett Knudsen known for Westworld, and Quintessa Swindell, who has starred on Euphoria.
Yesterday, I tuned into “Prime Target” with high expectations, only to find myself a bit disappointed by the end of the premiere. It seems that the show tends to be overly dramatic, and while the initial concept certainly piques my interest, it doesn’t quite live up to its potential yet.
Before the streaming service releases any more episodes, leading up to the finale on March 5, let’s delve deeper into the discussions and reviews surrounding this series.
New Statesman
I find ‘Prime Target‘ quite addicting, but I have doubts about its long-term appeal. Even for a momentary fascination, it seems to be easily forgotten.”
“Though ‘Prime Target‘ is hard to resist, I believe it won’t leave a lasting impression. It’s quickly forgettable, even when considered as a temporary distraction.
The Observer
The show blends global mysteries, secretive political plots, and a few scenes that border on action, resulting in a watchable, albeit expected, suspense drama.
The Daily Beast
Algebra enthusiasts and those captivated by apocalyptic predictions might still find the task tedious and unappealing, making completion seem unnecessary.”
Or in a more conversational tone:
“Even people who love algebra and end-of-the-world theories would likely think this task is boring and not worth finishing.
Empire
This ambitious series is as exciting as a statistics textbook and no more captivating. Neither the action, nor the dialogue fully conveys its potential, and its two main characters truly deserve roles that are more suitable to their talent.
Collider
This show is both thrilling and enigmatic, occasionally pushing the boundaries of believability yet keeping viewers captivated.
The Hollywood Reporter
The show’s pretentious air doesn’t do it any justice; instead, it provides us with shallow character development and half-cooked concepts.
Decider
While we can envision everything fitting nicely, the initial episode moved at a snail’s pace and was shrouded in mystery, making it difficult for us to grasp its essence.
IGN Movies
As a gamer, I must say that the series started off strong with some truly exceptional moments. But, despite having a fantastic concept, it didn’t quite live up to its full potential as the story unfolded.
Inverse
“The antidote to action thriller fatigue.”
