SERIES PREMIERE: This new miniseries is the brightest feather in Peacock’s plumage: A drama about spycraft and modern technology that takes the capabilities of “deep fake” videos and applies them to a hypothetical yet entirely credible story about international espionage and high-stakes politics. Holliday Grainger stars as a British intelligence agency looking into the case of a British soldier (played by Callum Turner), recently exonerated of war crimes and freed from prison, placed back in custody and suspected of murder. accused in a suspected murder case. Eventually, the narrative of The Capture proves unsettlingly unreliable, and asks all the right questions: When you can no longer believe your eyes when looking at video footage, what does that do to the courts, and to the world? I haven’t stopped thinking about this drama since I previewed it. You won’t, either. Familiar supporting players, though they arrive later in the miniseries, include Ron Perlman and Famke Janssen. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

The Capture really makes you question how much trust we can put in digital content these days. With deepfake videos and constant surveillance, privacy is more important than ever. I’ve been exploring messaging apps that give more control — even modded Telegram apps that allow better customization and privacy settings. Found this helpful: https://tgramplus.com/
