If you enjoyed recent revenge thriller Promising Young Woman, starring Carey Mulligan, you won’t want to miss Amazon Prime Video’s kick-ass new action drama, Jolt.

Underworld star Kate Beckinsale, last seen in ITV’s 2019 series The Widow, plays Lindy, a woman who has serious anger-management issues. Due to a rare neurological disorder, she experiences sporadic murderous impulses – when something makes her snap, she goes into a violent rage.

Lindy’s uncontrollable anger leads her to a therapist, Dr Munchin, played by Stanley Tucci, who comes up with a cutting-edge form of treatment. He gives her an experimental, electrode-lined vest that she can use to shock herself when she feels a murderous rage building up inside her.
