Hunter was superior Australian TV entertainment. With a higher budget than competing Aussie dramas and a cool jazz score, it was a neat diversion from the 'by the numbers' cop show formula. It was a major hit across its two series. Tony Ward was solid as the titular agent and the show's break-out star, Gerard Kennedy (later of Division 4 fame), proved to be a great adversary. The show's higher than normal budget allowed a significant amount of outdoor filming and this added to the impact. Watching the late 2019 DVD from Crawford Productions, Hunter has well stood up to the test of time. All in all, Hunter is a TV gem from the late 1960s.
