"The Hunting Party" is reminiscent of "Criminal Minds". The alleged good guys, are, yet another US FBI profiler, who works with a CIA operative and corrections officer, to catch baddies who have escaped from a secret government prison. A prison where serial killers and the like, are humanely studied, like lab rats, so more like them, can be caught and presumably, in turn, "studied". Yes, the premise is a little outlandish but still interesting. The acting is solid and the characterisations, are at least mildly convincing. The first episode, is alright with a twist in the end, that showed some imagination and ingenuity. So a tick in the box there. In summary, a formulaic, moderately watchable US crime drama that, thus far, has made a little more effort than most of its kind, in the storytelling department. Lets hope they keep it up.
