Shall we start with the title? C*A*U*G*H*T (ITVX) begs for attention through the medium of capitals and asterisks. Imagine if everyone made their show look like a finicky password. S/T\R/I!C\T/L\Y. ?QUESTION? ?TIME?. B@K£ ŒUF. It would get irritating in a heartbeat. C*A*U*G*H*T doesn’t require typography to achieve that outcome.

A geopolitical incident is soon the talk of the international airwaves. The joke is that the soldiers, seemingly in danger, really collaborate with their captors by making a fake hostage video. Then the US gets involved, rendering this a most strange Australian-American hybrid. Almost every male Aussie here - soldier, politician, broadcaster - is some form of idiot. The female characters are all feistier and, of necessity in this patriarchy of plonkers, cannier.

That Carême worked for Talleyrand (Jérémie Renier) is the drama's core ingredient. For the grandmaster of chicanery, he cooks up a storm to achieve political goals: please Bonaparte, sway the exiled Louis XVIII, send a coded message to a political prisoner. There's even a cooking compo which is essentially MasterChef in perruques. As a barely glimpsed Napoleon gears up to be crowned emperor, the plot pouts and schemes through a maze of interpersonal twists and geopolitical turns.

If you would like to see that rarest of endangered species — a smart, witty and original 90-minute thriller aimed at adults — then stop reading this review immediately and go and see Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag. It is a film that is probably best enjoyed by going in entirely blind, where the bare bones of the premise, revolving around a husband-and-wife pair of British spies who find themselves under suspicion of treachery, possibly by one another, is all you need to know.
