9. Steal
Where can I watch it? Prime Video
Sophie Turner must have fancied her time as a jewel thief in 2024’s Joan, because she’s back on the heist circuit in the aptly titled thriller series, Steal. Though this time instead of instigating, she’s on the receiving end. Over six action-packed episodes, Turner plays office worker Zara, stuck in a boring job at a pension fund until one day she’s forced to transfer billions of pounds in pension funds by thieves running a heist. Throw in a Detective Chief Inspector trying to hide his gambling addiction and you’ve got a series soaked in trouble.
