Prime Target
What's the Story?
Mathematician Edward Brooks (Leo Woodall) has just become a PRIME TARGET. The mathematics postgraduate student is passionate about his research with prime numbers and nature. But it's evident Edward's research is more than just a breakthrough when his advisor rejects his proposal, burns his research, and is later found dead. Soon NSA agent Taylah (Quintessa Swindell) is assigned to surveille him, and the duo discovers that someone is trying to stop Edward and his research by any means necessary.
Is It Any Good?
This series is as complex as it is compelling. Math may not be traditionally thrilling for most, but the mystery and character relationships in Prime Target try to make the story interesting. Despite that, it does tend to bog itself down with digits and details. Parents should keep in mind the language, violence, and sexual themes when their teens are watching.
