Hunted Australia

After watching several seasons of the Hunted UK series, my expectations were certainly realistic when approaching this one: the state surveillance capabilities were always going to be entirely simulated, and not very realistically either. But with the UK series they at least tried to make it look like a fair competition in the earlier seasons.

Hunted AU went directly into taking all the short cuts. Step outside in the back garden of a rando who let you hide out after you pled your case? Oh look, the "neighbor" saw and helpfully "called in a tip." Game over!

And don't even get me started on the sibling of a Hunter who happened to be hanging out in the countryside near a team (and their accompanying cameraman), coincidentally spotted the fugitives, and called her to turn them in.

I can accept the simulated detection of fugitives, but this series is just incredibly lazy and implausible.
