The Hunt with John Walsh (2014–2017)
10/10
Pacing from Hell . . .
20 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
For a very good reason.

Like the previous reviewer, the pacing of The Hunt drove me nuts, initially, and then I began to get it: this show is about presenting the crimes and criminals it profiles as nightmares. The agonizing pacing is the introduction, case by case, to each hellish violation of the crime's victims.

Even so, once I understood, I still found The Hunt very hard to watch, with that pacing and the show's enormously dark patina still driving me away from the screen.

Eventually, after 6 or 7 episodes, I acclimated and now view each episode as a well-crafted essay on the depravity of person or persons deliberately doing harm to another or others.

Not an easy consumable - to get its full value you're going to have to invest the time and energy it takes to break through and appreciate the qualitative tone it intends to portray. It's worth it.
