The Hunting Party

To be fair, I am quite enjoying the show. I waited a few weeks and then watched the first 5 episodes in one binge session, so for me, it was enjoyable enough to keep me interested.

The actual plot is pretty crazy and offers up some hectic storylines. In my opinion, they could have been executed better. It gives me vibes of a b grade X-Files.

I do have one bone to pick with the show, and it is probably really small in the context, but...

The team fly all over the country in a private jet, but no matter where they land, they always end up arriving on scene on the same SUV! Like I said, no biggie, but just bugs me a little bit.

There are so many things to say. So few good things. The acting is poor and the writing is nothing but rehashing from other shows. The FBI has a Luxery jet to fly to a potential victim while the convict can get there somehow. This may have been a Silo in Applebees TV's Silo not sure. Without giving to much info this has better get better quick because a lot of holes and not much makes sense right now. These are seasoned FBI people but she was kicked out for some reason and they let you know some weird stuff is being done by them for the good of mankind. We will see how it goes but a couple more episodes ought to do it.

This is based on one episode so far, but it is already looking as if this series is going to degrade into a standard paint-by-numbers crime show. There was certainly nothing to hook you in and make you want to come back for more. If you're the sort of person who likes to watch shows while multi tasking and engaging on your mobile with social networking then is one of those shows that will suit you because there's no intricate plot details that you need to pay attention to. Miss a few minutes and go make a cup of coffee, you won't miss anything important. All in all it's gonna be a case of the week story, progressed on the thinnest of leads and solved just at the 40th minute with a random clue. Seen it all before.

When I first saw the trailer for this, I was immediately sent back to 2012 when Fox had a show called, Alcatraz. The main similaritity is both shows have a female agent tasked to capturing a number of high profile criminals who escaped from prison. Both shows have a great cast and both shows have a scifi feel to them. And like Alcatraz, despite being a great show, Hunting Party will b cancelled after one season. It's hard to trust NBC with any new shows like this one because they don't give scifi shows q chance of grow. Shows like Endgame, The Event, Ordinary Joe, The Player, Emerald City, Mann And Machine and a host of other shows, all cancelled after one season. Hopefully this show will make it.

Now yea we've seen this story line before buy I'm all for a good story line. They are looking for escaped serial killers. The worst kind so there is alot of action and seems to be a pretty good backstory for the lead detective. It doesn't drag on the first episode and you knee deep in the drama and action. The story keeps your attention and while we've seen this storyline a few different ways this is honestly pretty interesting. The acting is pretty good. Scenes are great. This is just the first episode so honestly it cld get way better who kws. I do like Melissa roxburgh there's just something about the way she plays a detective that really works for her.
