DUBAI: Like former castmate Kit Harrington, a thriller set in London’s financial district might be the show that means Sophie Turner will at last be known for something other than “Game of Thrones.”

Turner is the highlight of this clever, entertaining six-parter from Amazon in which she plays Zara Dunne, a trade processor (lowly drone) at UK pension management company Lochmill Capital.
As she demonstrates when showing round new girl Myrtle, Zara is aware how dull her job is. She alleviates that boredom by partying hard with her fellow drone Luke at the weekends.
Things are about to get a lot more exciting for everyone at Lochmill, however. Just as Zara’s running Myrtle through the drone work, a very professional armed gang enter the office and — after demonstrating they mean business by clubbing an employee senseless — demand that a specific set of trades worth £4bn be made. That requires a couple of trade processors — Zara and Luke. When Luke panics, Zara’s cool head saves the day, and she’s credited with keeping her fellow employees alive. The gang get what they want and leave, just minutes before the police arrive.
