This Surveillance Thriller Series Will Make You Question Everything

This Collider piece makes the case for watching the BBC conspiracy thriller The Capture, streaming on Peacock, which follows detective Rachel Carey through two seasons uncovering a surveillance conspiracy involving "Corrections"—manipulated CCTV and deepfake footage used to frame a soldier and later to sabotage a British politician. The writer argues the show's strength lies in its performances (Holliday Grainger, Callum Turner, Ron Perlman) and its unpreachy but pointed exploration of how deepfake and facial-recognition technology can distort reality and justice, making it feel unsettlingly plausible rather than sci-fi. It's essentially a recommendation piece framing the series as timely viewing given real-world AI and deepfake anxieties.
