‘Wall-to-wall action’ spy thriller shoots up Amazon Prime Video top 10 ranking

Just days after Amazon Prime Video dropped Butterfly, the tale of international espionage has been climbing the streamer’s top 10 ranking of film and TV.

Set in the bustling South Korean city of Seoul, the six-part drama stars Daniel Dae Kim (of Lost and The Good Doctor) as the semi-retired gun-for-hire David Jung.

Now sitting at the third spot on Amazon Prime, the show kicks off in a high-end hotel, where a visiting politician is under surveillance for a bold assassination attempt (think Day of the Jackal vibe) which is being organised by a shady and deep-pocketed private intelligence agency.

The young assassin on the job is Rebecca, played by Reina Hardesty. Next on her kill list is the rogue and not-really-retired agent David, who’s highly trained in field work.

Adapted from a graphic novel by Arash Amel and Marguerite Bennett, it turns out that David and Rebecca are known to one another. 

The former intelligence agent is on a mission to protect his wife and daughter, while also reckoning with an incident from his past that comes back to haunt him. Ominous stuff.
