In what feels like a mix between NBC’s “The Blacklist” and CBS’ “Criminal Minds,” the series is disturbing, and a tad predictable — but is an overall engaging watch.

Bailey's new procedural crime drama has clear potential, but what remains a mystery as of now is whether the show will take more thrilling risks or fall short by continuing to play it safe.

It's a great film that is much better than you think it should be, based on the concept.. Anyways though, I just wanted people to see this post, and tell them to give The Hunting Party a chance. It's not enlightening, or anything. And, The Hunting Party isn't very groundbreaking ,or anything. But it is starting to get more entertaining. (Like I said episode 4 starts to set up some cool possibilities of where the show could be going, you just got to push through the first 3 episodes. It's got potential to be a fun show. Especially, if the writers really amp up the freakiness of each serial killers backstory. And go all out). That's enough to keep me tuning in. Plus, hopefully the fan base will start growing. Hopefully from there they'll just get weirder & weirder. If they do i'll keep tuning in.

“Hunting Party” is a predictable procedural. .... Eminently skippable.

Over these episodes, the characters are unremarkable at best and ill-defined at worst. They each have their own secrets and “dark pasts,” but the show gives viewers little reason to buy into their stories or, frankly, even care about their fates or the larger mystery surrounding what really happened at The Pit.

The Hunting Party is a generic action series that seems to operate on twists that either aren’t that surprising or are pretty much useless.

As stripped down and unimaginative a take on this genre as I’ve ever seen, using a supermax backdrop as an excuse to basically make a less realistic, less interesting version of Criminal Minds (a show I already use as my shorthand for everything repetitious and exploitative about broadcast TV).

To say that this show is insulting to the intelligence of everyone unlucky enough to watch it would be an understatement. It is poorly made in every department: writing, directing, performance, whatever you can think of.

I love this show. It keeps my interest throughout, the concept is interesting, and I really enjoy the actors. It reminds me ofBlacklist when it first started and was good, before it lost the week by week criminals. Give it a chance!

I enjoyed it for what it is: A fun TV show that doesn't take itself too seriously. The acting is above average and the storylines are entertaining. I hope it gets a second season because we watched and enjoyed every episode.

Voyeuristic "true crime" genre meets poor screenwriting. There's nothing about this that's entertaining. Nothing.

We watched the 1st episode - won't be watching any more. The plot was shallow and unimaginative. The actiing was subpar and cheesy. Nothing new or imaginative to interest us in continuing with this series.
