Hunting : Chasseurs de criminels

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.

The show is extremely entertaining, will not win any Emmy's. That being said I feel like tl all the different types of prisoners created is enough to keep it interesting. The depth of the background of the task force creates a lot of intrigue, and I find myself looking forward to the unpacking of all is that. With that I hope it is renewed fo atleast a second season so I can learn more about the characters. While I agree with other reviewers that the plot had been done before show me something on network television that hasn't. You either like something or you don't, and this keeps me entertained.

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.

There's some nice CGI in the first five minutes of this new show. I won't even spoil the plot by elaborating. So, basically, this a fever dream of all previous inmate on the run dramas. There's usually a flawed but brilliant ex-cop dragged back into service, and there is one here.

Instead I'll point out the parts in the first two episodes which irritated me due to their idiocy.

1. An FBI agent enters a room and doesn't clear it before opening an animal cage. Nope.

2. An FBI agent lets an accessory to a crime roam around a house while they wander off to find the main bad guy. Nope

3. When you take a call, don't turn your back on the other person in the room. Or it makes you look stupid. And don't talk about the reason the person behind you is probably going to use to kill you. Double nope.

4. Don't have characters in your show that work for the CIA, but share all the secrets they know 5 minutes into the show because the other lead shouts at them. Nope-ity nope nope.

5. Don't have characters say that they are deliberately keeping secrets from the president. I'm pretty sure that anyone found doing this would be in deep rose fertilizer.

6. IF the US really had a place like the one in the show, they wouldn't need GTMO in Cuba.

Apart from that it was well written. Wasn't it? NOPE.

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.
