New Seasons of British Thrillers ‘The Capture’ & ‘Trigger Point,’ Harlan Coben’s ‘I Will Find You,’ U.S. Open Golf Begins

The Capture

You can’t believe your eyes in this timely British thriller about the scourge of deepfake technology and its use in black-ops government espionage. Holliday Grainger returns for a third season as SO15 intelligence officer Rachel Carey, promoted after exposing the government’s top-secret Correction video-manipulation program to the public. On the verge of releasing an Operation Veritas system that detects deepfakes, Rachel and her team are plunged into a new mystery when a shocking act of political violence has everyone questioning Rachel’s credibility. Things only get weirder when she meets her new boss, the enigmatic Commander Noah Pierson (Killian Scott). All eight episodes are available for binge-watching, and the cliffhangers are so potent you’ll likely find yourself dialing up the next episode immediately.

Trigger Point

More edge-of-the-seat suspense in the third season of the British nail-biter set within the Metropolitan Police’s bomb disposal squad. Vicky McClure (Line of Duty) returns as steely explosives officer Lana Washington, who remains focused despite all the losses she and her crew have suffered over the previous two seasons. The ticking-clock tension rarely abates as Lana confronts a new menace, who’s targeting people in a vengeance campaign, trapping them in dire circumstances with a simple order: Confess or Die. The six-part season opens with two episodes, the rest following weekly.

I Will Find You

For the first time, a Netflix adaptation of a Harlan Coben thriller is set on the author’s home soil of the United States. Avatar‘s Sam Worthington stars as David Burroughs, wrongly imprisoned and serving a life sentence for the murder of his son. When his journalist sister-in-law Rachel (Severance‘s Britt Lower) reveals stunning evidence that the boy might still be alive, David engineers a prison break to get to the truth. The eight-part series co-stars Milo Ventimiglia, Chi McBride, Madeleine Stowe, and Clancy Brown.

US Open Golf

The prestigious golf tournament returns to Southhampton’s Shinnecock Hills Golf Club for the sixth time, with first-round coverage through the day on USA Network and in the evening (5-8 pm/ET) on NBCSN and Peacock. Contenders include last year’s winner, J.J. Spaun, and Rory McIlroy, coming off his second consecutive Masters win. Also eyeing the grand prize, and a possible career Grand Slam to match McIlroy’s: World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who has yet to conquer this tournament.

Welcome to Wrexham

As the World Cup continues, this endearing soccer docuseries reminds us of the gut-wrenching ups and downs of any sports season. The scrappy Welsh Red Dragons of Wrexham, having enjoyed several years of consecutive promotions, struggle to make it into the playoffs, dreaming of achieving Premier League status, with just a handful of games left in the season. Coach Phil Parkinson’s job is to keep the largely new squad grounded despite the pressure, keeping the proverbial eye on the ball.
