Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Tellyvisions
Amy Amatangelo
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.
Culturess
Lindsay Press
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.
Q+ Magazine
Alex Valencia
The pacing, while mostly tight and engaging, does waver at times-perhaps a side effect of its weekly release format. Some stretches unfold deliberately, while others pack in rapid twists and turns.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Showrunner Steve Thompson's compulsively watchable series alternates between the ludicrous and the smart.
FandomWire
Alan French
Prime Target is an easy skip from Apple TV+. It's a boring series and too repetitive to keep any tension. Too many characters come across as incompetent, and the actors have little support to succeed.
Pajiba
Dustin Rowles
It's wildly ridiculous, oscillating between being painfully dull and unintentionally hilarious. It's fun, but also boring, but also fun! But also boring.
New York Times
Esther Zuckerman
A show about smart people that still allows you to turn down your brain and have a good time.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jackson McHenry
The twists and turns of Prime Target defy explanation yet are delightful to unspool.
Processed Media
Randy Dankievitch
Prime Target is a complete miscalibration, criminally forgettable and unnervingly straightforward, a thriller devoid of almost any engaging characters or creative elements that would endear an audience to return for more.
RogerEbert.com
Kaiya Shunyata
In a market where thrillers like this are produced by the dozen, Apple TV+'s newest series fails to carve out a place for itself within the larger television canon.
Decider
Joel Keller
We see the potential for all of this to tie together very well, but the first episode was so slow-moving and so mysterious that we just couldn't get a read on any of it.
Pop Culture Maniacs
Jean Henegan
So, if you're in the mood for a pretty empty thriller with some really great actors trying to make the most out of a little, Prime Target is worth a look. But you'll probably find yourself disappointed at the time spent and wishing for more.
Inverse
Dais Johnston
The antidote to action thriller fatigue.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Basically, "Prime Target" is an engine to set two attractive young people on the run through a number of set pieces, interspersed with arguments about transparency and responsibility and whether there is such a thing as pure science in a dirty world.
IGN Movies
Robert Anderson
While the show offers moments of brilliance, especially in its early episodes, it ultimately fails to deliver on the grand potential of its ideas.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
What "Prime Target" adds up to is an engaging, entertaining mix of scholarship and skullduggery that ultimately won't do anything to convert those of us who thought math would be bad for our health.
Observer
Laura Babiak
The series combines international intrigue, government conspiracies and a handful of action-adjacent sequences to make a serviceable, if predictable, thriller.
Seattle Times
Chase Hutchinson
Despite all the time it insistently spends showing its work, "Prime Target" just never adds up to anything worthwhile.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Even those who are fascinated by algebraic theories and doomsday scenarios will find it a sludgy chore not worth completing.
The Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
Such self-important affectation does the series few favors when what it actually delivers is a grab bag of underwritten characters and underbaked ideas.
