What kind of watch this is
Manhunt is a 2017 true crime anthology that dissects the psychology of terrorists. It pairs the perpetrators' twisted logic with the FBI agents tasked with catching them. Gethin Anthony plays Agent Jack Brennan. The show runs 13 hours across 2 seasons, a commitment that asks you to sit with the darkness of real-world violence. It is a slow burn that prioritizes the mind over the action, treating the hunt as a psychological puzzle rather than a chase.
What the critics said
Critics gave it a high score, which is rare enough to note. Rotten Tomatoes reports a 93% approval rating based on 29 reviews. The consensus calls the narrative "taut" and "meticulously constructed." Metacritic gives it a weighted average of 71 out of 100, landing in the generally favorable range. The praise focuses on how the show handles a true story that was previously exaggerated.
How it did with audiences
Manhunt lands a 7.6 on TMDB, a score that suggests viewers found more to like than to mock. There is no box office data to weigh against that number, so the film’s reputation rests entirely on how it made people feel in their living rooms. It is a solid mark, the kind that implies the movie did its job without shouting about it. Some titles need the ticket sales to prove their worth. This one just needed the audience to nod along.
