Since The Catch is executive produced by Shonda Rhimes – creator of hit shows Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder – the series naturally centres on a professional superwoman who looks perfect in every way but leads a very complicated life, especially when it comes to love.
It has a clever hook: Alice Vaughan, a private investigator who specialises in fraud cases, learns too late that she is a victim of fraud too – a deception that almost costs her company everything, from its finances to its rich clients. There are personal losses too, because Alice loses the man she thought was going to be her husband, when he turns out to be a con artist.
