We were joined on the Popternative show by Quintessa Swindell (Master Gardener, Trinkets) who stars in the Apple TV+ conspiracy thriller series, Prime Target. The series premiered on January 22nd and the season finale recently dropped on March 5. Quintessa stars alongside Leo Woodall (One Day, The White Lotus) as NSA agent Taylah Sanders.
Leo plays Edward Brooks, a brilliant young math postgraduate who is on the verge of a major breakthrough. If he succeeds in finding a pattern in prime numbers, he will hold the key to every computer in the world. Soon, he begins to realize an unseen enemy is trying to destroy his idea before it’s even born, which throws him into the orbit of Taylah who’s been tasked with watching and reporting on mathematicians’ behavior. Together, they start to unravel the troubling conspiracy Edward is at the heart of.
Created by award-winning writer Steve Thompson (Vienna Blood, Jericho), Prime Target also stars Stephen Rea (The Stranger, V for Vendetta), David Morrissey (Sherwood, The Walking Dead), Martha Plimpton (The Regime, Raising Hope), Sidse Babett Knudsen (Borgen, Westworld), Harry Lloyd (Arcane, The Theory of Everything), and Jason Flemyng (A Town Called Malice, Pennyworth).
