The Capture. What did you think of the acting?

Did anyone else watch this last night?. I enjoyed the last series and this one looks intriguing!

I didn’t think the acting was great throughout, though!

Security Minister, Ma’am, new lady detective and others - a bit over the top ! ?

I watched Ridley, but will catch up on this.

Have watched nearly all the first episode- still 10 minutes to go.

Thought it was quite good.

Didn’t think anything wrong with the acting though?

Riveting storyline. Takes fake news to a higher lower level. Time is so precious but it now seems that we need to spend more and more of it checking facts.

To be honest, I couldn't make head nor tail of it and I fell asleep. I'm not sure if I will bother to catch up with it. I understood the main premise but I was very confused as to who was who. I also feel uncomfortable when a particular country - in this case China - is portrayed as the sole aggressor when I think it is conceivable that many countries would use - and perhaps do use - such techniques if they were/are able to.

Thought acting fine, all established Actors. Thought it was good, such a change from the norm makes you think, probably possible to do with Avitars? thought provoking.

I’ve watched three episodes of this and am finding it really gripping. The technology aspect is difficult to follow but I am focusing on the story line. Holliday Grainger is very good in her role.

I’m really enjoying this. It’s one of the few programmes I have to really watch, and not be internet surfing, reading or doing other tasks at the same time.

Great series. I am glued.

Well? Did it all make sense to anyone? It was very confusing that final episode and I’m not at all sure I followed it all. Anyone care to explain it a bit please?

This might help a bit!
I was quite confused at times but it finally made sense at the end, which I thought was very clever.

Have watched the whole thing, thought the acting was great and the storyline convincing (and terrifying!).

I did not like it at all.This is a disappointment to me as I really did enjoy the first series.
I particularly did not like the acting by the main female character.She now seems to be very arrogant and sashays about the place as if she is a model.This may not be the fault of her actual acting ability of course, but down to script and direction, I cannot tell.
I could not engage with it and found it plodding and unbelievable.

Watched the first 2 then gave up, unbelievable storyline poor acting, even worse than Vigil last year. I assume diversity was more important than quality and if quality doesn't matter then don’t bother. Even Netflix has better content.
