Hunting : Chasseurs de criminels

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.

Now yea we've seen this story line before buy I'm all for a good story line. They are looking for escaped serial killers. The worst kind so there is alot of action and seems to be a pretty good backstory for the lead detective. It doesn't drag on the first episode and you knee deep in the drama and action. The story keeps your attention and while we've seen this storyline a few different ways this is honestly pretty interesting. The acting is pretty good. Scenes are great. This is just the first episode so honestly it cld get way better who kws. I do like Melissa roxburgh there's just something about the way she plays a detective that really works for her.

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.

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.

To be fair, I am quite enjoying the show. I waited a few weeks and then watched the first 5 episodes in one binge session, so for me, it was enjoyable enough to keep me interested.

The actual plot is pretty crazy and offers up some hectic storylines. In my opinion, they could have been executed better. It gives me vibes of a b grade X-Files.

I do have one bone to pick with the show, and it is probably really small in the context, but...

The team fly all over the country in a private jet, but no matter where they land, they always end up arriving on scene on the same SUV! Like I said, no biggie, but just bugs me a little bit.
