An intriguing, but rather flawed sort of Big Brother thriller set in our contemporary world of digital snooping, near constant surveillance and (a topical touch) widespread use of facial recognition technology.September 04, 2019
The Capture isn't the first drama to make images its primary currency - from Enemy of the State (1998) back to Blow Up (1966), the genre has a distinguished lineage - but it feels like a good time to revisit itSeptember 04, 2019
The BBC has promoted this as the successor to Bodyguard. It's subtler, slower and much less starry, devoid of suicide bombers and sheets of flame, let alone Keeley Hawes as an oversexed Home Secretary. But it promises to be equally gripping.September 04, 2019
It's already gripping and I'll tune in next week as Carey searches for the victim.September 05, 2019
So far the first episode has done enough to suggest a decent midweek shaggy-dog story for back-to-school season.September 04, 2019
It is a rather tired idea, thankfully downplayed against the far more exciting backdrop of digital jiggery-pokery and layers of subterfuge, with surveillance teams themselves being surveilled.September 09, 2019
[The Capture] leaves the viewer wanting more and boasts outstanding performances from its main protagonists.September 05, 2019
By the end, with wheels within wheels beginning to spin, things are set up nicely.September 04, 2019
[Ben Chanan] taken the best elements of a classic conspiracy thriller and welded them to the urgently topical theme of how video footage is being manipulated to create false narratives and fake news.September 09, 2019
It chugged along and chugged along until the final scenes, which were riveting.
