The Steal poster

Steal is a slick, binge-oriented British heist thriller set inside a London financial firm, where a meticulously planned pension-fund robbery spirals into a layered investigation of insider betrayal, financial crime, and institutional corruption. At six episodes it is compact and propulsive, drawing comparisons to The Night Manager for atmosphere and Mr. Robot for its financial-hack mechanics. Sophie Turner anchors the show with a commanding performance, and the central misdirection about the mastermind's identity provides a late-series payoff that most reviewers found satisfying. The tone is cool and urban, the cinematography London-grey, and the score polarising — praised for tension by some, condemned as overbearing by others.

From the reviewers

The series wastes absolutely zero time. By the six-minute mark of the pilot, the title card hits, and you're already so deep in the tension that you'll be canceling your weekend plans to see it through to the end.
It isn't just about the "How" or the "Who." It dives deep into the "Why," peeling back layers of financial, political, and emotional manipulation.
The show is a master of misdirection. We were expertly misled about the mastermind's identity until the final, breathless minutes of Episode 6. It's rare to find a reveal that feels this earned and satisfying.
Sophie Turner is a revelation as Zara Dunne, commanding every scene with a "steely" resolve. Jacob Fortune-Lloyd provides the perfect foil as DCI Rhys Covac, bringing a sharp, relentless energy to the investigation.
thoroughly ruined by overbearing and unrelenting backround music. Totally unnecessary, too loud, to much, too discordent.
