The Capture - 5/10
Crime/surveillance thriller that started off really strong but ultimately disappointed with plot holes and character's making silly decisions (aka the writing is poor) left and right. Too bad as it had a lot of potential and cool ideas. Quite the unsatisfying watch though.
i really like Holliday Grainger from the Strike series. shame this one stinks. I think Task is going to end up in the same lot.
I mean it doesn't outright stink, 5/10 is just my personal opinion. The first season on its own is a 7/10 for me so definitely give it a try if you like her. Never heard of her before watching this but she was definitely one of the highlights.
Strike is a great watch.
so many shows are bloated with family drama unless Task is absolutely going to head in this direction instead of having a tight cop vs baddie story. Most of these shows aren’t bad per-se, but they could do so much more with less. Smoke and Jackal were like this, too. Good shows but bloated with drama that has no impact on the story.
Strange New Worlds is so neat sometimes and so absolutely shit others. Tonight was fun (for the most part)
edit: I dropped Task -- the writing is bloated, the characters aren't interesting, and... it just sucks.
