    Well done. Interesting to watch the step by step process of solving this series of murders and the enormous effort that it takes to solve crime. The family story of the main detective was stereotypical and have seen it a million times in the portrayal of dci. 3 episodes was rhe right amount.

    Clunes felt right, clutching his flask of coffee and delivering an authentic, contained performance of a decent, unflashy grafter. ... It takes a very good actor to make a real, do-it-by-the-book detective, who isn't a hard drinker and doesn't shoot from the hip, come alive on screen. I still think it's too soon, but it is in responsible hands.

    This sober, responsible production that has even managed to avoid the temptation of hyping it as Martin Clunes’s first foray into straight drama and aggrandising him or the production at their expense.

    Manhunt’s navigations of clues and dead ends at times are enough to keep this pot simmering if not boiling. Nor is there anything wrong with Clunes’ lead performance, which unfortunately is in service to a not-so-greater whole.
