The Hunting (2019)

Predictable Stereotypes
10 August 2019
Based on episode 1 this topical and attention grabbing theme served up a predictable array of stereotypes that only glimpse the reality of the issue and perpetuate mis-conceptions. The mostly innocent and unwitting victims include the assertive daughter of a lesbian couple, the smothered daughter of a migrant family and the try hard son of another migrant family who seeks the approval of the hate figure; a vaguely larrikin teenage male from a wealthy family. Similarly, the teacher characters are typical teacher characters in typical tv dramas; either old and crusty, or young and naive. Consequently, the soft targets, schools and their staff, appear as hopeless. Well, that is as far as I got. Maybe it will get better but I doubt it.
