You can now binge all 6 episodes of ‘wall-to-wall action’ Amazon Prime spy thriller

Just days after Amazon Prime Video dropped The Assassin, which has been climbing up the streaming chart ever since, they have something else for TV watchers.

All six episodes of Butterfly have now arrived, offering another tale of international espionage.

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

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.
