The Capture Season 2

 

If you are looking for a series that will have you on the edge of your seat, Peacock's crime thriller The Capture season two is the one to watch. Here are my thoughts.

The second season of this fantastic series ups the ante with its deep fake artificial intelligence story plot, character-driven storylines, and solid cast performances. I'm just amazed that no one has talked about this series around the "water coolers" like other shows because it does deserve to be in the conversation. 

A rising politician, Issiac Turner, who's the head of the Security for England, has been caught in the deep fake of him, causing not only damage to his political image but also putting his personal life at stats. This puts Rachel back in the race against time to expose the truth about "Correction" before it's too late.

Even though the second season aired almost two years ago, the story doesn't feel old or outdated (to me), as the deep fake plot for the season is still in the conversation, like making someone on camera say something totally different than what they are saying or having the person present on camera talking and moving but is he really there at all. 

We see our hero, DI/DCI Rachel Carey (played by Holliday Grainger (Strikes)), being promoted this season to work for DSU Garland but doesn't do what she hopes she gets to do. That is until the recent murders and the deepfake of Turner really comes into play. Grainger is amazing this season, giving so much in her performance; as Carey is trying to balance her job of working the case while also trying to collect evidence to take down "corrections." 

But it's not only Grainger who's fantastic this season; it's her co-star Paapa Essiedu, who plays the politician Turner, who deals with deep fakes of misleading people of his stands on a China-based security business to whether or not he's the father of a baby from an affair. I really feel that his character has been put into the shit hole, and Essiedu does a fantastic job. 

I can't say enough about the story plot this season, as it really had me on the edge of my seat from episode one to the season finale of episode six. It was six hours of excellent television to watch. Once again, Ben Chanan has done a fantastic job for the series, as everything felt manageable and manageable. As much as I loved the first season, this season tops it all. 

Overall, I give this season a 10/10.
