If you’re looking for a show that keeps you on the edge of your seat without demanding too much brainpower, “Prime Target” is the perfect pick. This eight-episode thriller, dropping Wednesday on Apple TV+, feels like one of those books you can’t put down—perfect for a long flight or a lazy weekend binge.

The story kicks off with a bang—literally. A gas explosion in Baghdad uncovers an ancient site, but the real action starts at the University of Cambridge. Enter Edward Brooks, a genius mathematician played by Leo Woodall. Despite his good looks and brooding charm, Edward is a loner, obsessed with solving a theorem about prime numbers. His work? A formula capable of unlocking any digital lock. Talk about a game-changer.

When Edward’s professor catches wind of his breakthrough, panic sets in. Naturally, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) gets involved, and Edward becomes their top priority. Enter Taylah, a rebellious NSA agent portrayed by Quintessa Swindell, who switches sides to protect him. What follows is a whirlwind of international escapades, with the duo dodging assassins and staying one step ahead of danger.

Don’t worry, though—this isn’t a math class. The show glosses over the complex equations to focus on the action, suspense, and undeniable chemistry between the leads. Woodall, known for his roles in “The White Lotus” and “One Day,” brings a shy, endearing energy to Edward, while Swindell’s tough-as-nails Taylah steals the show with her killer wardrobe and motorcycle boots.

“Prime Target” doesn’t aim for realism, and that’s part of its charm. It’s a sleek, fast-paced ride filled with beautiful people, exotic locations, and cliffhangers that’ll keep you clicking “next episode.” So grab some popcorn, settle in, and let this glossy thriller sweep you away.
