The Hunting Party

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.

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.

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.

It is hard to first get into as it seems like a B movie and doesn't really pull you in. The concept is very good. The non-stop music playing throughout the movie, like an 80's movie, is very annoying and ruins the actual vibe that the show could give.

I like the actors. Not sure about the characters yet. The main lady is good enough to carry the show along. I still just can't get past the non-stop music playing at all times, and I mean at all times. I can't get into the scene as it doesn't seem real due to this music.

That is why movies and shows got away from the non-stop 'atmosphere' music throughout, as it doesn't allow it to feel real.

Like the canned laughter in sitcoms, why keep doing that? It is sooooo annoying.

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.
