s k This show COULD have been really good. But it's not. As I stated in the summary: It's just. Plain. Stupid. Every episode has numerous stupid, non-believable acts and "coincidences" that undermine whatever else is going on in the story arc. And speaking of story arcs, this show is very poor at story telling. It's too slick for its own good. Then there's the gratuitous nude scenes that contribute little if anything to the show. Not the worst show I've ever seen, but it falls way short of what it could or should have been.

grantss A so-so series.Started very well. Engaging and highly intriguing. Melissa George worked well in the lead role and the supporting cast were good too.However, the novelty wore off quite quickly.Soon became intrigue and twists for intrigue- and twists-sake. The plot seemed to resemble other espionage series, eg Alias. Plus, too much random killing - not that I have an issue with graphic violence in TV/movies but here it just seemed gratuitous. The final few episodes made it worth while, to an extent, in the end, as everything came together. Was a bit of a slog in the middle though.

leatherpress I've just discovered via third party info online that BBC execs have decided not to renew their involvement in Hunted for a second season. Given the quality of the program, the strength of the production, cast, acting, not to mention reflecting the darker side of our zeitgeist, the decision is perplexing from a purist TV point of view. BBC have had recent form, a bit of a track record over recent years really, of canceling programs ahead of their time, often claiming poor ratings as an excuse, that were technically, thematically and stylistically rich, with ideas and characters that should have been allowed to be explored and developed: Outcasts, Zen, the cancellation of Whitechapel, Identity, The Body Farm, amongst others. The question is Why? What will happen with The Fall? Will it be allowed to reach it's final conclusion on it's own terms or be cut off. If not it would be interesting to know why some programs are given life and others not?

primacag-219-477782 Not perfect. Certainly a British point of view on spy thrillers, which are normally more thoughtful, better written, and better acted than US drivel, such as the current version of Nikita or 24.The characters were human and entertaining as individuals. They developed as individuals. The plot is a little convoluted but eventually you figure it out. There are no 180 degree twists to keep the plot going, just the gradual discovery of new information.The acting was British but not to over the top. There were a few too many altercations that didn't result in damage whose effects disappeared too fast. They spent a lot of time setting up the next series, so it would be a shame not to see some of it at least.
