Season 1 Review:
As engrossing the show is in its demonstration of how little the public knows about the extent it’s being surveilled, the final explanation of the crime as it arrives in episode five, titled “A Pilgrim Of Justice,” feels quite contrived. ... Grainger’s work as Rachel gets better with every episode, but the season belongs to Callum Turner. He churns out an evocative, admirable performance as Shaun

Season 2 Review:
Apart from one hoary line from Patrick ("You know exactly who we need to call, and it ain't Ghostbusters"), Ben Chanan's dialogue was quick on its feet and clever, especially when security minister Isaac Turner (an excellent Paapa Essiedu) was sparring with the head of a Chinese tech company hoping for an AI contract with the British government.

Season 1 Review:
It’s a fast-paced story that reminded me, in its propulsive energy, of the 2018 British thriller “Bodyguard” starring Richard Madden. The plot builds and its story lines intersect nicely, even if it could have been cut back an episode to be a little tighter. For a night or two of bingeing, you could do a lot worse. ...

Season 1 Review:
Terrifically twisty and intensely suspenseful. [20 Jul - 2 Aug 2020, p.9]

Season 1 Review:
The Capture doesn’t quite deliver the seamless resolution its first five episodes deserve. ... Still, this is the rare thriller that is not just smart and gripping, but also deeply engaged with our bizarre, often terrifying present. And it’s easily the best original show you’ll find on Peacock.

Season 1 Review:
The series has a “Bodyguard”-like ability to deliver thrilling reversals grounded in truths of characters and their situations. Grainger, a TV veteran, sells the grit of a detective as well as her abject confusion over the case’s unfamiliarity. ... Elegant little series.

Season 1 Review:
It's a twisty journey that starts as a grounded exploration of the Panopticon-esque paranoia of the British surveillance state. That it eventually becomes something convoluted and vaguely silly is a disappointment, but the six hour-long episodes at least kept me curious throughout.
