FBI agent Flynn Carroll is a former soldier who suffers from PTSD following a tour in Afghanistan and depends on wife Abby to help save him from himself. When Abby goes missing, Flynn's search for her leads him to the discovery of a classified government organization, the Exo-Terrorism Unit, which fights alien terrorists known as Hunters. Recruited by the ETU, Flynn works with Allison Regan, the agency's most valuable operative, who harbors a secret that may hold the key to why she is so good at tracking down Hunters. The sci-fi drama is inspired by Whitley Strieber's novel "Alien Hunter."

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The visibly low-budget Hunters unsuccessfully searches for a well-executed plot in a forest of common tropes and cheap clichés.

Clunky dialogue and an uninspired visual style seal 'Hunters' fate, despite McMahon's best efforts. Go to Full Review Ray Rahman Entertainment Weekly 04/12/2016

I'm not sure if there'll be a person in America who'll feel emotionally invested in Flynn's plight. And if the series is meant to be any metaphorical commentary on our real-world war on terrorism, well, that's not immediately evident either. Go to Full Review Dennis Perkins AV Club 04/11/2016

Hunters is a dour sci-fi procedural whose every story beat is joylessly copied from more interesting shows, and whose pretensions toward political allegory are too simplistic to be truly offensive. Go to Full Review Edie Nugent Common Sense Media 05/03/2016
2/5
Things get bloody but boring in the war on alien terror. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV 04/12/2016
Grim, humorless, and instantly off-putting -- the shot of a naked, bloody woman being kept prisoner in a cage is your early warning -- Hunters is a misfire from the Syfy network. Go to Full Review Tim Surette TV.com 04/12/2016
Based on the first episode, Hunters is a really bad series bogged down with mediocre aspirations, pathetic execution, and a student-film budget. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Scot S @RT60202104 02/17/2023 Season 1 was fun. Season 2 was terrible. Some dude in black hair & beard in a Paris whorehouse, some gal in Austria who kills a guy (haven't seen her since) flipping 1972, then 1977, then 1975, 1977, 1972, Spain, America, Argentina, I can't keep up. Then they play music at the same volume level as the dialogue and it goes on and on. 2 season is frustrating and is guaranteed to test your patience. Don't waste your time. See more karyn r @RT13159331 01/31/2023 Series 1 was great! The actors and story were all good. Kept me waiting for the next episode. However season 2 seems like it was rushed to get out. Many scenes are just of people speaking on telephone with just the back of their head. It got really confusing with Argentina and Jonah at a brothel in Paris . Now they are on a hunt for Hitler and and Eva Braun. Why did they go this route with the story? It seems terribly far fetched. See more 02/24/2020 Ridiculous. Can't believe Jordan Peele is responsible for this trash. See more 02/23/2020 How is it that every show the critics hate, and the audience likes/ turns out to be good show? Applies here, again. See more Micahel J @RT74117138 07/28/2016 Somebody at SyFy forgot to pay "Top Critics / Paid Critics" to write a review. Hunters was a little slow the first few episodes; however, picked up as it got into the back stories of the characters. Sad, very sad we will not get a season 2.
