The crime genre is the king of the series offer. Detectives, forensics, serial killers, etc., are a continuous object of production companies. It is very difficult to say anything new in such a hackneyed genre. In any case, the public continues to respond well to the different proposals, even if everything is predictable.
Manhunt is not a spectacle thriller: there are no supermen or super killers. It makes a choice for sobriety and plausible events. It shows us the personal relationships between the policemen working in the department trying to solve the case.
The narrative follows veteran detective Sutton. He has long been waiting for a major case like the one he is presented with to advance his career. Many of his colleagues, and even he himself, doubt his ability to handle such large teams and pressures. New leads and unforeseen events will constantly arise, pressing for resolution and absorbing his full dedication. This will cause him to seriously neglect his family, hiding behind excuses that really cover up his professional ego.
Although we should not expect big shocks in the story, the pace of the series is one of its merits. It is dosed with a lot of information gathered by the different professionals who work investigating, showing very well the importance of working as a team to solve any complicated case. The pace is quite lively.
At the conclusion of the third episode, many questions remain in the air regarding the consequences of the protagonist's work decisions on his personal life. Fortunately, thanks to the success of the series in the UK, there will be a second season of Manhunt. Let's hope they take advantage of this new opportunity to answer these questions (information taken from filmaffinity.com).
