    Bad and dark and confusing things ensue, but the human characters are so completely unengaging.

    Much of Hunters seems like torture porn. McMahon overacts as the unhinged Hunter who seems to want to destroy humanity but is taking the long road to armageddon. Phillips is just miscast as humanity’s best hope.

    There are a lot of ambient and random sounds in the episodes, which makes things seem more ominous than any tension generated by the story. Apart from that musical wrinkle, Hunters is overly familiar, essentially a generic crime show in a sci-fi case.

    Flynn, unfortunately, is just another scruffy male protagonist of a type that is all over television. Of his new E.T.U. colleagues, only Allison gets your attention. That may not be enough. Hunters seems as if it might be too convoluted and coy to be worth the mental energy.

    Great post 9/11 sci-fy show. Yes, the pilot is not great as it does not hint enough on what's next. But it is something that happens for a tonGreat post 9/11 sci-fy show. Yes, the pilot is not great as it does not hint enough on what's next. But it is something that happens for a ton of show. It is a matter of being willing to go past the first episode. It gets better and better by the episode… Full Review »
