NBC’s ‘The Hunting Party’ Is a Sound Serial Killer Procedural With Sharp Twists: TV Review


NBC's new crime drime procedural, "The Hunting Party" follows a special task force hunting down serial killers.

Desperate to keep their dirty secret under wraps while rounding up the escaped sociopaths, the government enlists former FBI profiler Bex Henderson ( Melissa Roxburgh) and begins building a task force. The depravity showcased (network TV friendly, of course) includes everything from a man who enjoys killing and reviving his victims repeatedly to a more surprising predator who uses actual wolves to hunt prey. Despite the odd sepia color tone giving the show an unnecessary gray tinge and a few over-the-top unintentionally hilarious moments, including the barcodes on the bottom of inmates’ feet, several instances of hitchhiking (in 2025) and a cargo container used to house one single prisoner, “The Hunting Party” works well.
