Hunter

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.

Awesome drama rom com action adventure. Some mind blowing stunts

This series, generally about espionage along the eastern coast of Australia, made a star out of Gerard Kennedy (at least during the 1960s) due to his memorable and unforgettable portrayal of Kragg. Who was Kragg? A really nasty though occasionally charming chap who made hero John Hunter played by ex-news anchor Tony Ward look pretty ordinary. HUNTER is generally forgotten when Aussie dramas from the 1960s are discussed. It's the better-known HOMICIDE which gets the nod, probably as it was in all honesty a better-made series. But it didn't have Gerard Kennedy, an underrated actor who could have given Clint Eastwood a run for his money!
