A new Blockbuster thriller has launched with one of the lowest Rotten Tomatoes scores in streaming history as viewers ripped into the ‘instantly forgettable’ plot and ‘letdown’ ending.

Prime Target debuted on Apple TV on Wednesday, and it nearly set a record by having the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score for the streaming platform on the day of its debut.

The show sees a bright mathematics student named Edward Brook (Leo Woodall) on the verge of a major breakthrough when a sneaky enemy attempts to trip him up.

But fighting for answers and his life, Edward teams up with a government agent to uncover a high-stakes conspiracy.

After just two episodes, A New Pattern and Syracuse, the mini-series, which was created by Steve Thompson, has been slammed by critics.

The White Lotus’ Leo stars alongside Sidse Babett Knudsen, David Morrissey, Stephen Rea, Fra Fee, Joseph Mydell, and Jason Flemyng.

Despite it being on air for two days, the show’s score has barely crept up to 45%.

With the majority of critics giving the show a negative review, one penned: ‘The series combines international intrigue, government conspiracies and a handful of action-adjacent sequences to make a serviceable, if predictable, thriller.’

‘Despite all the time it insistently spends showing its work, Prime Target just never adds up to anything worthwhile.’

‘Even those who are fascinated by algebraic theories and doomsday scenarios will find it a sludgy chore not worth completing.’

‘As lively as a statistics manual and just as riveting, the action and dialogue alike don’t do this ambitious series justice, nor its two leads who deserve far better.’

‘Ed’s more awful than he is brilliant; other characters have to keep reiterating how smart he is, but he shows how horrible he is every five minutes, so that becomes the central aspect of his personality.’

‘Prime Target, on Apple TV+, is a series with many possibilites, but lets you down when the final episode ends.’

Despite it being on air for two days, the show’s score has barely crept up to 45 percent – if it stayed lower than 32 percent, it would have become Apple TV’s lowest-rated released

Actor Leo, 27, who was praised for his role as Dexter Mayhew, was spotted filming scenes for his new thriller in Cambridge last summer.

Starring as Edward in the upcoming thriller, the show will air for just eight episodes.

Initially wanting to pursue a career as a PE teacher or stunt man, it wasn’t until Leo’s late teens that he decided to look into acting.

Inspired by performances in gritty British dramas Skins and Peaky Blinders, he enrolled in drama school aged 19 before landing his first acting job in short film, Man Down.

In One Day his character Dexter spends the night with Emma on their final night of university and the series follows their relationship on the same date for the next 20 years.

The two drop in and out of each other’s lives, mainly due to the difficulty that Emma has with Dexter’s changed personality after achieving a low level of fame.

At the time, Dexter is struggling with his mother’s terminal illness and one scene shows him arriving late to his family home after a cocaine-fuelled night out.

Dexter’s mother Alison [Essie Davis] gives him some home truths about the person he has become after getting boozed up and falling asleep in his childhood bedroom.

After his visit, his father Stephen [Tim McInnerny] drops him at the station and gives him both barrels about his recent behaviour.
