Hunted

Awful, completely anti-climatic and ruined the entire experience. Clearly scripted and has ruined all future viewing for myself

What are these people thinking?

A camera crew must follow? They go to friends and family. They use social media. Mobile phones...

Powers of the state? Granted to a TV network should terrify us all, if they can get it? We are all in trouble, I can get it if that is true. Channel4 can listen in to phone calls? Even of non participants- how is that legal? That will be phone hacking, like Princess Di and News Of The World.

Is it the usual celebrity wannabe? Or someone looking for a life changing opportunity? As far as I see it is the former.

People, pampered by years of technology, who have no clue how to live off grid, after their fleeting 15mb of fame. Thinking Off Grid means charging their phone in a stranger's back garden.

Occasionally taking unsuspecting loved ones with them? Condescending hunters, mock them?

Jack the Ripper never got caught, it took years to get Fred, Rosemary, Shipman, Myra - bet they did not have cameras following them. Do the crew have their phones? Off or not, we keep being told they track... We switch from the black SUV's, control room to desperate wannabes.

Booking rooms on your card, going to friends and family, cash points, leaving notes at home... Are you mad? Moving between technology. How we are tracked, tender minds moments as people reach out for help to the obvious, unaware they are minutes from capture.

Contrived, scripted, you might as well watch Hollyoaks which is closer to reality. Pretty ridiculously, £100k is nothing, bait for influencer wannabes who make more after.?

Take it as fiction, a 007/MI5 style documentary as how society has turned.

Very thrilling and exciting. One of the best shows ever. 😀. I would recommend this to everyone. It is funny watching the people get caught or outsmarting the hunters. The hunters are also quite clever.

I really enjoyed the first few series of Hunters and originally gave it 8/10. However, in the last couple of series it's gone way downhill, and I agree with other reviewers that it now feels very scripted. For whatever reason, the contestants act far more stupid now than they ever did in earlier series and that just spoils it for me. Taunting the Hunters with video clips on social media certainly isn't real life; who on the run would actually do that? The cameraman following the hunted is a necessity for the programme and I understand that. I've downgraded my review to 4/10 now and won't be watching anymore future series.

I don't know where to start!

It's a great concept but the statement at the top of the show probably tells you all you need to know. Something like "powers of the state such as CCTV, ANPR etc have been replicated...."

The hunted candidates are genuine enough and have no idea what they're getting into. Fair enough.

And the hunters and their contrived ops room, manufactured powers and cringing and obviously rehearsed sound bites are just laughable. "Let's take them down", "I want these two in the bag by the end of the day" and so in. Laughable.

And the "field agents" in their black SUVs. Couldn't be more stereotypical if they tried.

You'd need to be a mug to treat this show as believable.
