That sense of an apparently 'real' world subsumed by a malign virtual facsimile which can be rewritten and modified at will again underpins this second series. As we saw in a chilling opening scene, the technology could even enable 'invisible' assassins to pick off their targets without leaving a trace in CCTV footage.Once again, Chanan has zeroed in on sizzlingly contemporary political and social concerns. While The Capture's first series pivoted around the personal travails of army veteran Shaun Emery, this time the focus broadens out to examine how shifts in the relationships between global powers have exposed the potential horrors seething up between the tectonic plates.
