The Hunting Party

I would agree with the other raters on this one. We've all seen this formula before: a central character that some Government agency decides that they can't do without (and won't take "no" for an answer), and recruits her to carry out a "failure is not an option" mission. It's nicely set up for a "mission of the week" schedule which, to be honest, I really don't mind. I think the lead actress does a serviceable job, and the first episode had a nice twist in the end.

All in all, I'm going to continue watching this show. It has enough possibilities to keep me interested and the cast is engaging enough. Although if network history holds true, they'll cancel this series just after you've became a faithful viewer.

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.

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.

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.

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.
