The Capture (2019– )
8/10
Gripping until the end
21 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The plot had me gripped from start to finish. Season one develops the theme of 'correction ' whereby wanted criminals or 'problems' for the state are computer-corrected to get the desired outcome in any event.

Season 2 then develops this far-fetched idea via a plotline that now has correction being used proactively as opposed to merely as a last resort to ensure 'justice' in cases where justice would supposedly be skirted. Correction now involves getting desired outcomes.

Throughout the seasons we don't know who to trust. Is it China? The USA? Russia? Big tech? All scenarios are on the table.

The final episode or two really does spoil(s) the whole show. It's a cheaply put together ending that has little thought for any kind of genuine ending that I'd suggest the viewer deserves after 2 seasons' investment.

It seemed like the producers wanted to get the thing wrapped up by this episode and so they did in whichever farcical and unbelievable way they could.

Good viewing, gripping entertainment, but don't expect any kind of reality or complexity to the storyline's ending.
