If you're on the lookout for some gripping new television to keep you glued to the screen, fans of BBC dramas appear to have plenty to say about this recently finished series.

The Capture, a conspiracy thriller created by Ben Chanan, has left a lasting impression on its viewers, who continue to post glowing reviews online.

Above all, TV fans are captivated by the show's exploration of artificial intelligence and technology, and the far-reaching, potentially devastating consequences these could have on society.

The world depicted in the series is a 'post-truth' society, riddled with state-sanctioned misinformation and political interference that raises a host of deeply unsettling ethical questions.

The central premise of the series is 'don't believe what you see', presenting a profound moral dilemma set in a world that feels uncomfortably close to our own.

Having first aired on BBC One in 2019, the show concluded with its final episode in March 2026. Viewers can now watch the entire series at their leisure, with new audiences discovering all the episodes and binge-watching from start to finish.

One fan took to Rotten Tomatoes to say: "An absolute belter! A disturbing series about the threat of deep fake technology. While we're not quite at the level depicted in the show, it effectively highlights its dangers."

Meanwhile another viewer said: "Very suspenseful and binge-worthy!! This season is great and keeps you on the edge of your seat."

At the heart of the story is Rachel Carey, portrayed by Holliday Grainger, a detective hell-bent on uncovering the truth, driven by the moral conviction that it serves everyone's best interests. Notably, starring alongside her in the series is film star Callum Turner as Shaun Emery.

Viewers can also look forward to seeing Killian Scott on their screens, alongside Laura Haddock, Ben Miles and Ron Perlman.

A pivotal plot element is the use of 'connection', a programme employed by intelligence agencies to manipulate live video feeds, fabricating false evidence. The programme is an entirely fictional concept, yet it doesn't feel wholly far-fetched, leaving many viewers deeply unsettled.

One viewer said: "One of the best twisty final episodes of an already gripping and alarmingly relevant storyline. Watch it!"

Another wrote: "The first season was quite extraordinary, and I was gripped for the full 8 hours! Incredibly, Season 2 surpassed the first in every respect. 100/100 from me. Best BBC TV show I have seen in decades."

Upon its release, the series garnered widespread critical acclaim, with each subsequent season receiving an equally enthusiastic reception.

When it concluded in March this year, audiences were left with a void in their viewing schedules, while simultaneously feeling privileged to have witnessed what many have described as "the best British box set" they've ever seen.

For those yet to tune in, all three seasons are available to stream now on BBC iPlayer.
