‘Mind-blowing’ BBC crime thriller finally drops on Netflix and it's already 'gripping' viewers

For those among you who do not have access to the wonderful shows on the BBC it's sometimes just a waiting game until they appear on a platform you can watch it on.

Luckily for you, dear TV viewer, a marvellously reviewed show that boasts a 96 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes for the first season and the perfect 100 for the second has come to Netflix.

This is The Capture, which started as a 2019 thriller series starring Holliday Grainger, Callum Turner, Ben Miles, Cavan Clerkin, Paul Ritter, Ralph Ineson and Ron Perlman.

The first season follows a former British soldier (Turner, who got a BAFTA nomination for his performance) who was acquitted of committing a war crime and is now accused of kidnapping and murdering his barrister.

Evidence seems to point towards him having done it, but DI Rachel Carey (Grainger) is on the case and has to delve into whether or not the evidence can be believed.

Millions of Brits watched the show when it was on the BBC and it earned itself a second season that was shown in 2022. Now, The Capture has found its way onto Netflix where a whole new audience might discover it.

Anyone familiar with shows made in the UK will know there's only a few episodes per season so you can rattle through the drama at a fair pace, and if you end up becoming a fan of the show then there's even more good news for you as a third season is reportedly in the works.

According to TV Zone there'll be more of the critically acclaimed show to come, so now would be the perfect time to catch up and watch it.

As for the people who've already seen The Capture, they called it 'the best thing they've seen in ages' and can't wait for a whole bunch of new viewers so they can 'annoy everyone by going on about how good it is'.

Fans have said the show is 'definitely worth a view if you've not seen it' and one viewer said the show had 'blown my mind'.

If you want to banish the post-January blues then a new thriller to get obsessed over might be just the thing to do the trick.

Besides, you've got to binge watch something other than the latest Harlan Coben adaptation and the same old circuit of your comfort shows every now and then.

The Capture is available to stream now on Netflix.
