Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Atdmovies When I first heard about Hunted, I decided to not bother with the UK version and instead go straight to the US release.So, where to start...Well you get introduced to all these "best of the best" hunters, whom the show talks up to be top of their field. It's however not until you do a little fact checking yourself that cracks appear in these over exaggerated bios of the hunters/central command characters. I haven't checked all of them, but as someone who works in the field of cyber security, I can tell you that some of the stuff these "hunters" have done, is absolute rubbish and "hollywood" cyber security, not reality.Then there's the plot holes. At first they seem insignificant and minor, and some of the blatantly dumb stuff the fugitives do, defies logic.IT Consultants who don't secure erase data - really? IT experts with non encrypted data on laptops - really? Mobile phone owners who don't encrypt the data and factory wipe - really? Lunches at Taco Bell and not expecting to get caught - really?This is before we start talking about them being followed by a camera crew, and sound guy, making their ability to hide VASTLY reduced.But it's not until episode 4 that a real clanger of a plot hole rears its ugly head, and throws the entire show into doubt.Two fugitives are on the run. They visit a friend, and as hunters close in, ask for help to escape. They do NOT know the friend of a friend.Friend of a friend offers them a camper and a kayak (like you'd give 2 random guys, plus film crew that). They kayak out on the water apparently all day (all whilst being trailed by a film crew mind you), get supplies and paddle back (still being trailed by film crew).But the plot hole is about to drop. Mr Computer Geek Man with his fancy hat has uncovered their internet history from a laptop, and a google search for "can you kayak from blah to blah". Now the fugitives would have had absolutely no idea they would get a kayak. Nor would they have expected to come across a kayak. It would make no sense to Google search that, however this is the "break through" that leads to their capture.This means that the "hunters" have prior knowledge and clear plans for (most likely) what every fugitive is actually doing BEFORE they go on the run.In addition to this, in order to obtain permission from land owners to film (and not get shot for trespass), they would need prior permission.So from a minor oversight in production, major cracks appear in what is real and what is not.It is a real shame because the show has potential, but once a crack like this appears in a plot, the entire show gets thrown into question.If they can fix these oversights, the show could be something brilliant, but the hunters should be private detectives/investigators/bounty hunters, operating within the confines of the law, alongside specialists in the industry (e.g cyber security).Anyone with half a brain knows that tracking a cell phone or accessing CCTV (traffic or otherwise), takes weeks to gain access to, not minutes.

rattlechickenchains This show is SIMULATED! Don't get all bent out of shape about it. There is no way that the show has access to any of the resources that are simulated. But they know where the plate readers are IRL and they know when the fugitives passed that reader, so they can simulate that information and give the hunters access to it. The same with the surveillance footage. The time it would take to get warrants for half the stuff they do would exceed the 28 days, so much of what is going on is truncated for filming. The show producers no doubt have access to all of the fugitive information and they make the call of whether the hunters have done the work to gain access to it.That being said, I loved it! Can't wait for season two and I might just apply to play game someday. The only thing that gave me pause was the running at the end. I can play hide and seek all day long, but I hate to run :P

solomonkleinsmith This is genuinely both interesting and fun. I've never watched more that maybe 2 or 3 episodes of any reality show, but I just micro-binged the first three. Can't wait for more, and how the heck do I sign up for next season?!?Part of the fun is watching people make obvious mistakes... I mean, how is it not obvious that you shouldn't just meander down any streets if you don't have to or spend the night at your best friends' house?Also fun to see the fugitives struggle to figure out how their trackers repeatedly get close or find them even when they've been extra careful, or try to come up with ways of getting around, communicating with friends and relatives, eating, bathing or finding places to sleep with the minescule budget they get - $500 for a whole month, although they can accept non-monetary help or work in exchange for stuff - without being seen by those who might have seen a wanted posting or a camera the trackers might be looking for them through.I wanna do it! Sign me and my best fried of 21 years up, CBS!

dadetail As a former security consultant... I had such high hopes for a GREAT idea of a competition.The reason I checked that there could be spoilers... because if I tell you how stupidly fake this is... that spoils it for brain dead reality fake show addicts.Stupid, stupid, stupid... fake, fake, fake....So disappointing... C'mon hollywierd.... you used to be creative! I didn't read any of the credits... but considering how poor this was... it wouldn't surprise me if Kardashians or some other trust fund knuckle heads put this together.
