What to Know

Critics Consensus

(Goofy concept + likable ensemble) ÷ sludgy pacing = an attractive but mediocre globetrotting series.

Amy Amatangelo Tellyvisions Ultimately, what makes Prime Target feel more like a final you must study for than a TV show to enjoy is how convoluted the converging plots become. Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) It has the DNA of on-the-run conspiracy movies such as The Pelican Brief or Enemy of the State, but stretched out over eight episodes, it’s frequently inert and unnecessarily twisty. Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times The overly earnest script works against what is at its core a mindless globe-hopping conspiracy yarn. Rated: 2/5 Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Marta Medina mundoCine [Prime Target] starts off with the air of a paranoid conspiracy thriller, only to shift into a far less compelling and predictable by-the-book spy drama. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Neil Armstrong iNews.co.uk It’s easy to tolerate implausibility in a good series, but Prime Target is slightly less fun than double maths on a wet Wednesday afternoon. Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Lindsay Press Culturess Watching someone frantically scribble numbers and symbols without explaining their relevance is not always the best idea of a good time, especially when other thriller shows offer far more suspense, mystery, action, and personality.

Hans S Interesting concept and first 30 minutes until the appearance of Quintessa Swindell turns this into a ludicrous teenage drama. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Bill A The plot offered so much, but the delivery was disappointing Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Christopher M My goodness, buy some lighting. I could not get through the first episode, it’s lit so poorly. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Tom F This certainly isn’t the worst of this kind of thing, but it is far from being good. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Nicole Y Slow and boring. I tried so hard. Now you don’t have to. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Audience Member What could have been a great series was let down by the poor script - some of it toe curlingly bad. Interesting concept- actors were good, they must’ve been cringing at the script! Shame. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/30/25 Full Review Read all reviews
