Most heist thrillers, for all their varying plotlines, follow a pretty similar chronology. The scene is set, the plan for the break-in is outlined, the heist is executed (with something inevitably going wrong), and the fallout ensues. Predictable, maybe, but from Money Heist to Prison Break, it’s a pretty surefire way to build a gripping drama.
Culprits, however, picks up where many of its genre-mates end. The eight-part Disney+ series introduces us to a crew of elite criminals three years on from a high-stakes robbery in London, led by notorious mastermind (and sporter of the chicest bob of all time) Dianne Harewood (Gemma Arterton).
