Prime Video's New Crime Drama 'Criminal' Is A Modern Bonnie & Clyde
If you consider yourself more of a homebody than an adrenaline junkie, TV shows are the perfect way for you to get a taste of adventure. And if you've already rewatched Game of Thrones and Criminal Minds more times than you can count, then you HAVE to tune into Prime Video's new series Criminal, which stars the Queen of Dragons herself, Emilia Clarke.
The story (which is based on the graphic novels from Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips) combines crime, thrills, and action with a Bonnie and Clyde-esque love story that will attract all kinds of viewers. Here's everything you need to know before the new series starts streaming!
What is the new Criminal series on Prime?
Criminal follows Mallory (played by Emilia Clarke), a quick-witted and capable robber who lives on the edge. She's constantly on the run, hiding secrets that could put her entire heist crew, including Ricky (Gus Halper), in danger. And to make things even messier, she and Ricky are having the kind of affair that could give Bonnie and Clyde a run for their money. Meanwhile thief Leo (Charlie Hunnam) is always multiple moves ahead of his opponents, despite other criminals thinking he's a coward.
