The Capture: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Holliday Grainger and Callum Turner star in this tricksy thriller, now back for series three
Year: 2019-
Certificate: 15
This tricksy BBC thriller wants you to question everything you see, and goes to great pains to sow the seeds of doubt. Fast-tracked DI Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) has something to prove when she is promoted after success with the counter-terrorism unit. Her first big case involves soldier Shaun (Callum Turner), recently acquitted of murder after a comrade's bodycam footage is discredited. On the very night he celebrates being a free man, Shaun is caught on CCTV assaulting and abducting his defence barrister. But can this evidence be trusted?
In series two, Grainger's ambitious DCI Carey is now working for the covert team who, even if it means doctoring footage, turn 'surveillance into evidence'. The thrilling opener introduces us to Security Minister Isaac Turner (Paapa Essiedu), who is preparing a report on whether to award a Chinese firm a national security contract. The stakes are high and the manipulation - referred to as 'correction ' - when it happens, is mind-blowing.
The similarly twist-filled third series finds Carey about to launch a system to combat 'correction' but don't expect that to go off without a hitch. She'll be left wondering whether she can even trust her own eyes, never mind the surveillance cameras. (Three series)
