Yellowstone star's 'phenomenal' spy thriller on Prime Video could be the next Bourne

Prime Video has quietly dropped a gripping thriller series that has the makings of a monster hit.

All six episodes of the action-packed drama were released yesterday (Wednesday, 13th August) and have already scored sensational reviews from fans who have tuned in.

Starring The Good Doctor and Lost legend Daniel Dae Kim and Yellowstone’s Piper Perabo, Butterfly is a must-watch for fans of compelling espionage drama.

There’s also unexpected layers to the carnage as Kim’s agent David Jung reunites with his assassin daughter Rebecca (played by Reina Hardesty) in a white knuckle cat and mouse chase across South Korea.

Perabo portrays Juno, the head of a secret spy organisation Caddis and Jung’s former partner, who sends her deadliest hitmen on a mission to eliminate him.

While the series hasn’t shot up the charts just yet, it’s only a matter of time and fans have the chance to get in on the action before it potentially becomes one of Prime Video’s most talked-about new titles.

Just take it from these ecstatic viewers who all agree Butterfly is well worth binge-watching this week.

One X user raved: “Just started watching Butterfly. Amazing show. Recommended!”

TV critic Klepcx agreed: “@PrimeVideo’s live-action adaptation of the 2014 @boomstudios comic #Butterflyseries elevates its main characters by creating an original world of colorful villains and espionage.

“By taking its own liberties through a narrative slow burn, Butterfly still manages to entertain through its action sequences, high stakes, suspense, and a major plot-twisting ending!"

And another enthusiast added: “Butterfly is the best new show I have seen in a long time. Must watch. I do warn you, if you start it, have time to binge all 6 episodes.”

One five-star review on Google read: “Butterfly is a phenomenal show IMHO! It has the soul of the Bourne series, but with its own unique identity.

“Starring Daniel Dae Kim and Reina Hardesty, a Father and Daughter involved in the spy game, the show is full of action and drama. It is well worth your time.”

“Really good loved it x Daniel is brilliant x,” another viewer said.

And a final fan joined the conversation: “Awesome show, right amount of everything.”

Butterfly is available to stream on Prime Video.
