“the capture” is exciting, well-acted…and the only reason to touch the peacock streaming service

Review of Peacock’s The Capture:

NBCUniversal’s new streaming service Peacock has now arrived with a few high-profile shows. This technically isn’t a Peacock original, but since the streaming platform now claims it as their own after taking it from BBC, why not review it now. One of them is a “fight-for-justice” series that has already been picked up for a second season, dubbed The Capture. It’s a thrilling, heart-wrenching drama that packs so much glorious punch in its first episode alone. It’s principally about an ex-soldier named Shaun Emery (Callum Turner), who after being falsely accused of murdering a prisoner in Afghanistan, now wants to live a quiet life after being released. However, when he is made the prime suspect of a kidnapping case, his world begins to fall apart. The lead performances drive the pilot of the series, led by the aforementioned Turner, who brings heart and humanity to a character that cannot seem to get a break. Otherwise, actress Holliday Grainger plays DI Rachel Carey, a mostly by-the-books detective that doesn’t really know what to think about Emery being the suspect. Grainger is absolutely fantastic in the role. This is truly the reason to download the app, as its other two biggest releases aren’t nearly as good. But you may want to upgrade to the premium version so you’re able to watch all six episodes of this incredible show. I’m so in for a season two being released, and I cannot wait to binge the rest of the first one.

The Capture brings some much-needed espionage greatness to the Peacock app, featuring a capable cast, expertly-crafted characters and a massive amount of thrills. I would say…BINGE IT
