Season 1 Review: The two episodes available for review, Manhunt: Unabomber has a by-the-book feel--a lot of forensics and theories. It’s not until the last few minutes that Bettany’s Kaczynski is really introduced. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Engrossing at times and well worth watching, though the writing is often graceless and the direction haphazard. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverJul 31, 2017
Season 1 Review: Manhunt is gummed up with inelegant writing, enough to worry the actors (including Chris Noth as a deputy FBI director) into desperate spates of arm-waving and yelling. Later episodes are able to shed some of this awkwardness in favor of forward momentum. The manhunt in Manhunt grows more tense, but it’s never quite enough to keep viewers engaged. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Unfortunately, the plodding Manhunt: Unabomber miniseries often fails to bring its principals to any kind of recognizable or specific life. Read full review
