  1. ‘The Capture’ title is a bit misleading when interpreting the plot, but this show is a good binge watch and closely resembles the feel of ‘The Bodyguard’ in how it is written including having an ex military veteran suffering from PTSD and trying to reconnect to his broken family.
    As CCTV is always the primary focus of attention throughout the series there was the feeling that the impost of public surveillance in the UK was making the shows clandestine story arc secondary to creating a political debate about Britain’s draconian national security issues.

  2. Been waiting for this since it aired in the U.K as a few reviews suggested it was better than ‘The Bodyguard’.

    Looks good. Hopefully they don’t go over the top with the Big Brother stuff.

    1. Saw this last year, glad it’s coming to ABC. Definitely goes well over the top – but was quite enjoyable and kept you guessing. A definite self isolation watch
