The Capture: Season 1

"A twisty if lacklustre drama about deceit, delusion and video fakery."

"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."

"Well worth a look."

"It's gripping up to a point, but really it's just you staring at a screen while watching another person staring at a screen."

"What starts out looking like a punchy female-driven crime drama in which a cocky young detective stands to learn about being a woman in the "job" from her new superior, has shifted into a righteous crusade against conspiracy at the highest level."

"Strong performances and an unabashed willingness to state its points plainly..."

"The series sucks the juice out of its pop-cultural reference points, failing to mine our current nightmares on its own terms."

"Just gripping enough to binge in one sitting."

"It doesn't necessarily try to copy Bodyguard, but I think has definitely got that Bodyguard-type-vibe. So if you're a fan of that, you'll be a fan of this."

"The Capture at least adds a bit of newness in the way it considers a specific kind of technology."

"A bit convoluted, but for aficionados of British crime drama, reasonably entertaining."

"The conspiracy aspects of The Capture are intriguing enough to keep us watching."

"This is the rare thriller that is not just smart and gripping, but also deeply engaged with our bizarre, often terrifying present."

"This thoughtful but still thrilling series is a worthwhile watch that may leave you a little shaken, wanting to make sure your computer cameras are covered ... just in case."

"Frightening, a little brainy, and damning of those who refuse to recognize deepfakery for the crisis it has become."
