The Capture (Seasons 1–3)

The Capture (2019) is a BBC One crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Soldier Shaun Emery walks free after the video evidence behind his conviction is ruled unreliable. He goes home to his daughter. Case closed — or so it seems.

Then new CCTV footage surfaces, and it looks damning. Shaun is back under investigation, this time in London. DS Rachel Carey takes the case, and the further she digs, the more convenient the evidence seems to be. Holliday Grainger and Callum Turner lead the cast in a series that asks a very current question: what does proof even mean when footage can be faked?

Written and directed by Ben Chanan, the show tapped directly into public anxiety around deepfakes and state surveillance at a moment when those fears were just starting to go mainstream. A second season followed in 2022. Stream The Capture online on iFILM.
