Hunted

Having read most of the already posted reviews, I agree overall. Here are my suggestions for improvements:

Have fewer fugitive teams so it is less frenetic and so viewers can get more involved with the participants. I really had no personal involvement with any of them.

Tell the viewers more about the rules! I didn't understand why family members and close friends "gave up" information so easily. Do they have to tell the truth? Are they paid? If so, why were just a few paid? Do the fugitives understand the rules? How about volunteer helpers? Do they know that it is a reality game show? If so, can fugitives offer to reimburse them later if they win? It's hard for viewers to buy in, when the rules are so fuzzy.

What about the cameramen? What are their rules? Is there a way for the investigators to track them? That would be a huge cheat.

Give the fugitives a more realistic chance. Letting the pursuers know exactly how they are going to escape was a huge cheat, in my opinion.

Treat it more like the game it is, rather than acting as if these contestants are serial killers or something. Lighten up! Show respect where it is deserved.

I hope this show continues with substantial improvements. I love the premise.

This is a reality TV competition. Nine teams of two regular people are tasked to avoid the group of highly trained investigators hunting for them. They are given an hour head start as they set off to escape detection for 28 days before retrieving the $250,000 prize. The investigators use modern computer and tracking technologies as they dig through the competitors' real and internet life.

It's an interesting show. There are interesting detection techniques. There are interesting contestants. The potential is there for good reality TV. The show does need to explain the rules of the game much better. There are definitely rules but the viewer is forced to piece it all together. How much money can they withdraw from the banks? What kind of preparations can they do? The contestants obviously have camera crews following them. So this is an edited competition with murky rules. I hope that this is not fake. It does need to clarify its scenario. For example, the finale has the contestants picking up the money from a bank and running on foot to a plane. It's an interesting visual but I kept wondering what happened to their rides. It could have been an easy fix if the money comes with instructions to run to the plane. It would have been more dramatic and more logical. This show needs to clean up some of these loose threads.

My comment is, if all investigators are that good, why don't they catch all the real fugitives? why the friends and relatives let in the investigators, if they do not have a court order? Do the Camera men carry track-able devices? because they can track relatives and friends, how they can not track the show members.

Fantastic reality TV, there should be more like this!

It feels insulting that the dictators of this show consider the general public so oblivious to buy into this, too many errors that give away that the show is staged and fake. There is just nothing 'reality' about it, when the so called contestants who have a good chance of winning, are being forced by the movie makers to make supportable mistakes that they would have never made if the decision was actually left up to them. for example, a women offers the 2 hunted guys her kayak and they agree that it is a great idea, then somehow the detectives find old google searches where these guys looked up kayaks and fully concentrate on searching for a kayak on a lake even with a helicopter, although the idea just came up and they could not have know anything about it. the next part are 2 girls who successfully hide out for 2 weeks and knowing about all the cameras they suddenly decide to go on a camera infested highway to expose them self to a Tacco Bell camera, and if that's not fake enough they now decide to eat their Tacco's in the parking lot just waiting until the hunters get them. OMG
