Alice
Vaughan (Mireille Enos) is a private investigator/security for the
extremely wealthy of L.A., but she got stood up on her wedding day
and her firm was tricked by a world class con artist, Benjamin Jones
or a.k.a. 'Christopher' (Peter Krause). Alice is now determined to
catch her 'ex', but when he doesn't steal anything and even helps her
out on more than a few cases she doesn't know if she wants to catch
him or kiss him in The Catch: The Complete First Season
(2016).
Alice
Vaughan is a high powered investigator and she and her firm
specializes in catching world class criminals. Unfortunately, she
was unable to see, catch or realize she has been sleeping with one
for the last year. Ben Jones is a world class lady killer and uses
his charms to charm wealthy heiresses, infiltrate corporations for
espionage, but he does the last thing a thief should ever do, fall in
love with his intended victim. Now, both Alice and Ben are caught
between various cases, FBI and the international mob.
My
first impression was they used too much make up on the characters, it
felt like they were trying to hide their ages, but in time, the
characters and series grows on you with the whole cat and mouse game
between the detective and thief. In the end it is about a thief
trying to turn good, but in order to get out of the mob he has to
resort to his old habit; meanwhile, he has to choose between his love
and his loyalties.
The
1.78 X 1 anamorphically enhanced image looks as good as it can for
the format, while the lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 mix is not bad, but is
lacking at times. Extras include bloopers and deleted scenes.
