My people, wetin happen for dis Amazon Prime new series wey dem call ‘Steal’ be like say e don scatter ground join jollof rice wey dem no gree add enough spice.
As dem premier di series for January 21, na Sophie Turner, wey many of us sabi as Sansa from ‘Game of Thrones‘, na im carry di main role as Zara. Dis babe don show say she fit handle any character wey put for im way.
For di opening scene, na big big drama as armed robbers burst inside their office wey be Lochmill Capital, and dem carry over £4 billion go as if na small change. Na so dis Zara and her friend Luke find demsef for wahala wey no go finish fast.
At first, ‘Steal’ dey shine like bright star o; tension dey high, action dey burst everywhere like akara wey no fit contain di oil. But e get as di series begin lose steam after di first episode finish; di story begin dey drag like snail wey wan cross road.
As we dey watch di show, we see say di real question no be wetin di robbers go do or if dem go catch dem, but how far dis Zara babe dey go fit take follow di police investigation led by that cool guy, Rhys. Dis man dey fight im own battle with gambling wahala wey fit make am dey lose focus.
And wetin we go call di series’ core gist? Na di money matter! As dem talk am for di show, ‘money no dey sleep’, and e dey lead to plenty wahala for everybody wey dey climb that financial ladder. From di big oga wey dey collect million pounds salary to di worker wey dey hustle four-five jobs, Steal dey show us how una wey gather wealth go fit treat people wey no get as if dem be dustbins.
Di character build-up wey dey follow na wetin strong pass; but for Zara, it no match wetin di show dey try paint am to be. Na so e be say, di people wey dey around am no get enough depth to make sense; Rhys dey act like him fit solve di case but him own problems dey block am.
E get plenty twists for di plot, but as story dey unfold, e dey very clear say dem dey trip o; di finish dey feel somehow, like my jammed-up motor between computer on mi street. All di tensions wey we don gather for di beginning na big showcase for how we go dey expect big finish, but di end come soft like wet bread.
Wetin we sabi from di show be say, everybody dey struggle for money matter, but at di end of di day, di madam and her people no truly find time to hit di true note wey dem suppose don hit.
Although dem say e no gree finish with clear cliffhanger, wetin dey possible dey exist to make Season 2 happen. Di babes and guys wey carry eyes for di show don dey anticipate wetin go happen next for ‘Steal’, and di character developments wey e mini dey show. So, we go dey keep our ears sharp to see wetin di future go bring.
