“The Capture” on Peacock, Review by Eva 7/19/2020
This Peacock six episode mini-series that originally aired in Britain is a fast-paced, exciting thriller that makes the viewer question what they see and if you can trust video to really show the truth. Callum Turner stars as Shaun Emery, whose conviction of murder is overturned when his lawyer Hannah Roberts (Laura Haddock) proves that what you see on video isn’t exactly what happened in the situation. Shaun doesn’t have time to enjoy his freedom because Hannah is kidnapped and Shaun is once more put in jail because of video evidence. The question for the audience becomes, Did Shaun kidnap Hannah, or did someone else do it?”
This show is interesting to watch if you love mysteries. Each episode gives you clues to help you find the real culprit. The only thing I don’t like is that it is rated for mature audiences because it uses the F word way too much. I wish “The Capture” was a bit longer than six episodes, but this show is a stand-out for Peacock. I give the show 5 out of 5 stars
