The Capture Season 1

If you’re looking for a fantastic original series to dive into on the Peacock Streaming Service, you definitely should check out The Capture!
The Capture is a brilliant and engaging crime drama thriller that repeatedly challenges you to consider whether the person you are pursuing is guilty. Season one begins with a former U.K. Special Forces soldier, Lance Corporal Shaun Emery, who has been acquitted of a war crime in Afghanistan. He soon finds himself in hot water when he is accused of kidnapping and murdering his lawyer's CCTV footage. 

Detective Inspector Rachel Carey, who was fast-tracked to the homicide and serious crime unit, starts to uncover a complex conspiracy surrounding Emery. This conspiracy raises questions about the footage, leaving it unclear whether it's him or someone else. The season concludes with a concussion that's more right than wrong.

Ever since I stumbled upon the trailer last year, I've been so excited to finally dive into this series! I was thrilled to discover that NBC Universal picked it up for streaming, making it even easier to enjoy. I ended up binge-watching all six episodes in just one day, and let me tell you, I loved every moment of it! 

The series is marked by its engaging character development, particularly showcasing Holliday Grainger as DI Rachel Carey, whose performance is outstanding. Meanwhile, Callum Turner’s portrayal of Lance Corporal Shaun Emery holds the audience's attention. His depiction of the character leads me to waver between suspicion and doubt about his involvement in the crime. Additionally, the performances by Ron Perlman and Famke Janssen are praiseworthy. Although the first season wraps up Emery's story arc, I look forward to the unfolding events in season two and the challenges DI Carey will face.

Overall, I give this series a 9.5/10.
