Tonight marks the series premiere of The Hunting Party on NBC! Wondering if it’s worth tuning in? Here’s what I think!
"The Hunting Party" strongly aligns with the themes depicted in the promotional materials and trailers. The narrative centers around the troubled FBI agent Bex Henderson, portrayed by Melissa Roxburgh, who is recognized for her performances in "Manifest" and "Tracker." She is summoned to aid in the apprehension of a notorious criminal who has escaped from a clandestine underground facility referred to as The Pitt, which should not be mistaken for the hospital in Pittsburgh as described in Max's work titled "The Pitt," following a recent explosion.
Bex collaborates with CIA agent Ryan Hassani, portrayed by Patrick Sabongui, and prison guard Shane Florence, portrayed by Josh McKenzie, as they pursue their escaped criminal for the week. In this particular episode, the fugitive who escaped is Richard Harris, who is significantly connected to Bex as he represents one of her first major cases. However, a more intricate narrative unfolds upon Harris's demise during Bex's meeting with the Pitt warden, who coincidentally is her former partner and ex-boyfriend. He seeks her assistance in apprehending the remaining missing inmates and identifying an individual responsible for orchestrating the exposition.
"The Hunting Party" offers a thrilling modern crime procedural experience similar to "The Blacklist." It really dives into the pursuit of dangerous criminals who slip away from an explosion of a secretive government facility. What’s particularly engaging is how Bex’s character is woven into the plot, showcasing her motivations that drive the investigation forward. Melissa Roxburgh truly shines as Bex Henderson, making this series an absolute must-watch for anyone who loves suspenseful dramas filled with personal stakes. If character-driven stories appeal to you, then this show is definitely one to add to your watchlist!
Overall, I give the premiere an 8/10.
