Critics Consensus

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. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) 02/19/2025
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. Go to Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times 02/04/2025
2/5
The overly earnest script works against what is at its core a mindless globe-hopping conspiracy yarn. Go to Full Review Marta Medina Pérez mundoCine Aug 22
2.5/5
[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] Go to Full Review Neil Armstrong iNews.co.uk 04/01/2025

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. Go to Full Review Lindsay Press Culturess 03/13/2025

RICHARD T. @LordWrayven Feb 9 Exceptional cast with a believable twisted plot. See more Rain R @RT82913162 Feb 6 Completely implausible story line, -frankly just silly. See more Degi D @Deggy Jan 22 The plot is not bad, like the lead actor but boring See more Bill B. @RT97464890 Jan 17 Premise intriguing. Tedious narrative. Weak acting. Boring. Skip it. See more Hans S @no-mad Sep 20 Interesting concept and first 30 minutes until the appearance of Quintessa Swindell turns this into a ludicrous teenage drama. See more Bill A @RT27607137 Aug 31 The plot offered so much, but the delivery was disappointing See more Read all reviews
