A strange thing to worry about, I know, but so genuinely shocking, gripping and explosive were the twists and turns across the season's first three hours, that I grew concerned that the marketing would have to spoil them, ridding viewers of the glee I got out of witnessing them completely fresh.
Because the best thriller on TV is back, back with a bang as it goes more ridiculous, but also more propulsive and mind-bending than ever before.
In her new role, Carey is behind a new programme called Operation Veritas, a system of cameras designed to detect deepfakes and correction as it happens in real time.
Now, I have to confess something up top – I have something of a bias towards The Capture, or at least, I appear to.
That is not to say I have some sort of connection to the production, the cast or the crew which makes my opinion invalid. I just appear to be captivated by it more than the average viewer.
In response, there are plenty who also love the show, but also plenty more who simply like it. They think it's good TV, but don't seem to have the same reverence for it or hold it on the same level of esteem.
This season hews closely to what made the first two runs successful, and does so brilliantly. It still has that real sense of pace that was palpable in the first two seasons.
When a mystery comes up, it will either be solved fairly quickly, or a new spanner will be quickly thrown into the works to complicate things. It's something a lot of thrillers could learn from, all those shows which pad out their runtime with so little resolution or forward momentum.
It still has a real urgency and a contemporary feel to it that so many other shows strive for and fail to reach. One might have thought that the topic of deepfakes may have become stale, irrelevant or over-explored, but it has only become more relevant as time has gone on, and the tech itself become more disturbingly powerful. That means the show is able to push the boundaries even further, in truly unexpected directions.
Now, the secrecy around this season is so tight that we actually don't even know who the majority of the new stars this season are playing, with the characters remaining under wraps.
Therefore, all I will say at this juncture is that they are all putting in terrific performances, particularly Killian Scott.
This, though, is her finest hour. The story this time around puts her right at the centre of things in a way she has always been due, meaning that even while other returnees such as Paapa Essiedu, Indira Varma and Ron Perlman are continuing to shine, she is clearly the actor asked the most of in her role this time around, and she delivers.
There will be a lot more to say about all of this once the first few episodes have been released. It is a relief to see that the BBC has gone for a weekly release schedule rather than a binge drop – this is a season which will inspire a ton of weekly speculation, in the way some of the best thrillers and mystery shows of the past have, but which few rarely get the chance to do now.
This is especially true given that creator Ben Chanan has teased that this could well be The Capture's final outing – a disappointing yet unsurprising decision, and perhaps the best thing lest the series run out of creative road.
The action is once again thrilling, the visuals are stunningly realised and that absolute bop of a theme tune remains one of the best around right now.
Here's hoping a few more may convert to my way of thinking. I'll personally be desperate to see the remaining episodes all the same.
