The Hunting Party

There are so many things to say. So few good things. The acting is poor and the writing is nothing but rehashing from other shows. The FBI has a Luxery jet to fly to a potential victim while the convict can get there somehow. This may have been a Silo in Applebees TV's Silo not sure. Without giving to much info this has better get better quick because a lot of holes and not much makes sense right now. These are seasoned FBI people but she was kicked out for some reason and they let you know some weird stuff is being done by them for the good of mankind. We will see how it goes but a couple more episodes ought to do it.

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.

Comes out of a barrel of clichés, in terms of uncreative ideas, and has insanely bad dialogue. The banal conversations - AGGHH! - the hackneyed and overused phraseology. It's impossible to take it seriously, and fairly annoying. Would anyone at all need to say out loud, "Call us if you find anything", when every person present is on the same investigative search team? Because, yeah, the lead was just gonna keep it all to herself and contact no one, D-D-DUUUHH!!

It's entirely conceptually immature, and utterly illogical, as well. One tiny Ex: The central character gets shot straight in the eyes with pepper spray (tear gas), but in the next scene her makeup is still perfect, no inflammation at all. I guess the EMTs do makeup now? (To be fair, she was holding a cold pack, but she was so casual, I thought it was a bag of chips at first. 😂)

It has poor directing and acting. The location-scouting and scene dressing is mostly fine, but it can occasionally appear low-budget. A kettle of boiling water is pouring out onto a floor and there's no steam, huh?

It location-hops frequently and senselessly. Seriously, who in law enforcement - what agency? - is getting to fly around in a luxury jet for the manhunt of one serial killer?

So, it took about 4 mins to figure out how lame this was going to be. It took another 25 until it became evident that the production was Canadian, and then I saw the Citytv logo, confirming it. Now the quality level makes more sense.

More and more often, when there's an early 7-or-above rating on here, it's most likely a true 3-5 stars affair.

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.
