“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.

The action-packed new thriller has arrived and viewers can watch Prime Target online with Apple TV Plus beginning from Wednesday, January 22. There are eight episodes in total. Two will be made available from debut, and the remainder will roll out once a week until the finale on March 5.

Leo Woodall ('One Day') plays a brilliant graduate student whose work puts him in the crosshairs of a global conspiracy.

Leo Woodall stars in a mystery series as a young Cambridge scholar whose theories about prime numbers lead him into a web of international intrigue.

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.

In Apple TV+'s Prime Target, a young student's research could revolutionize everything... if a host of mysterious forces stopped intervening. It's an exciting and mysterious series that occasionally stretches plausibility while still remaining engaging.

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