Was this made by the same people as the first series? I don't normally watch shows from the BBC (with good reason), but I thought series 1 of The Capture was great. It was a gripping detective/conspiracy story with good acting and a fantastic plot, which was told in an intriguing way - keeping just the right amount from the viewer. I gave it 7/10.
I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes of the first episode of series 2. Awful casting, detestable characters, and no attempt at telling a story.
The new characters were bad enough, but the existing characters all seemed to have a personality transplant. Anything to push the agenda rather than tell an interesting story. I'm out... Maybe it will get better, but if those are your first 15 minutes then I can't watch this.
Apparently the second series has a 100% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes already, so that tells you everything you need to know. It's a shame because I enjoyed the first series, but evidently its popularity has made it into just another platform to push the same things that are in every show now.
