Sotiris Nikias (Café 404) created this British crime thriller about an armed heist of a pension management company. A group of highly trained criminals takes control of the office and its workers, using phone jammers to prevent outside communication. The robbers force office workers Luke (Archie Madekwe) and Zara (Sophie Turner) to electronically transfer 4 billion pounds ($5.5 billion) into their accounts before fleeing.
Detective Chief Inspector Rhys Covaci (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) arrives to investigate the crime, and what follows over six episodes is the unearthing of who’s involved and how, with the help of forensic accountant Darren Yoshida (Andrew Koji).
What makes the series so watchable are the morally compromised characters and the mystery of who’s behind it all. DCI Covaci has a gambling addiction and believes his higher-ups are trying to prevent him from solving the crime.
Luke and Zara may not be innocent victims. The real focus is on Zara, whose job is a dead end. She’s a bottom-tier worker frustrated by her pay and inability to move up—a frustration many feel in entry-level work. She’s got a very complicated relationship with her mother, Haley (Anastasia Hille), who turns out to be abhorrent. It’s all very bingeable! (six 50-min. episodes) ∆
