New Crime Show on Netflix: A Mixed Bag for Viewers

A fresh crime series has landed on Netflix, offering a new option for viewers to dive into over the holiday weekend. This 10-episode series, which originally aired on NBC and Peacock, has quickly become a trending pick on the platform. The show, titled "The Hunting Party, " follows a team of FBI agents as they track down serial killers who have escaped from a secret prison. Each episode focuses on a different killer, making it similar to classic crime shows like "Criminal Minds. " The series stars Melissa Roxburgh, Patrick Sabongui, Josh McKenzie, and Sara Garcia. It's worth noting that "The Hunting Party" is not to be confused with another Netflix series called "The Hunting Wives. "Critics have not been kind to the show, giving it a low score of 18% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, audiences seem to enjoy it more, with an audience score of 83%. This big difference in opinion might be because the show has a more traditional, network TV feel, which some viewers prefer. If you're a fan of shows like "High Potential" and "Memory of a Killer, " you might enjoy "The Hunting Party. " But if you're used to more high-brow TV from platforms like HBO Max or Apple TV, this show might not be for you. Each episode is about 42 minutes long, making it easy to binge-watch. If you end up liking the series, you can catch up on season 2, which is currently airing on Peacock and NBC.
