The Capture

This is WICKED, and the end of Season 2 is one of the most compelling pieces of film I've seen in a long long time.

Despite the typically European camera sheen (i.e 'crisp' rather than 'American' glossy and/or colourful) 'The Capture' totally engrossed me from the start until the final episode of Season 2.

The scriptwriting is top top drawer and the camera work and direction is near flawless.

The entire production deserve a big pat on the back because the complexity of the story would not be easy to translate so seamlessly as it has.

I have gone off a lot of TV lately i.e there is TOO MUCH (in my opinion) but when they are made to the standard of this then it's simply an honour to just kickback, chill out, and immerse yourself into what was an education as much as an enjoyment.

The last episode of Season 2 was PROPER... Bravo.

Excellent construction of a thriller that is very consistent throughout its development. This plot of false guilty (or not) taken to a society in which images have become the main element of truth verification, is completed with good interpretations. Almost bordering on science fiction (or not) suspense is correctly dosed throughout the episodes. "The end justifies the means. The defense of the torturer."

How STRONG and solid storyline, sequence of scenes and events form the basis of edge-of-seat thriller. Oh my, how a simple camera footage can be the root of gripping thriller!

No fancy gimmicks, dialogues, shoot-out scenes, computer coding thingies, CGI scenes and whatnot.

The plot on agencies is nothing new. It's all about how the storyline is delivered. It's delivered to perfection!

This is a very believable drama, fiction yes, but how much of this stuff really happens? Plots and sub plots with the innocent manipulated to suit the various agendas of opposite sides of the coin. Hard to spot the good guys as the tale unfolds, watched all six episodes in one sitting, well worth it. Great cast and acting and some real edge of the seat drama moments.

An unsettling story about how images from a multitude of CCTV camera's can be manipulated to produce a "truth" as it is wanted. As the series unwinds you are rocked between fake and real until finally everything falls into place. The various are well cast and well played. It is always delightful to watch another well-made British series.
