Steal’s first episode is a compelling hour of television that ends with a great setup for the rest of the season while also delivering Die Hard vibes. Sadly, it can’t sustain the initial feelings of intrigue, suspense, and urgency through its six episodes. The performances are fine but unremarkable, though you may be easily annoyed by the dumb decisions made by the characters. But the bigger issue is that it simply fizzles out after such a strong start, which isn’t helped by the standard British dryness, resulting in a series that becomes less and less engaging with each passing hour, right up until the humdrum finale.
