Ridley Scott’s Spy Thriller Is Officially a 75-Day Streaming Sensation

Ridley Scott is among the producers of Apple TV’s spy thriller *Prime Target*, which has remained in the platform’s top 10 for more than 75 days despite no new episodes for over a year. Its continuing chart presence offers a streaming success amid a difficult year for Scott, whose film *The Dog Stars* performed poorly at the box office and whose series *Dope Thief* will not return.

The only season stars Leo Woodall as a young mathematician whose breakthrough attracts the attention of an unseen enemy, alongside Quintessa Swindell, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Martha Plimpton and Stephen Rea. Created by Steve Thompson, the series received Rotten Tomatoes scores of 43% from critics and 54% from audiences. The article describes its spy story as reminiscent of early James Bond films.
