More Critic Reviews for Manhunt Series 1 All Critics (11) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (1) Manhunt's navigations of clues and dead ends at times are enough to keep this pot simmering if not boiling. Nor is there anything wrong with Clunes' lead performance, which unfortunately is in service to a not-so-greater whole. Mar 12, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Manhunt is reassuring to watch - and not only because Sutton and company do catch the killer who, I'm happy to say, isn't romanticized or made somehow "colorful." Mar 12, 2019 | Full Review… John Powers NPR Top Critic It will also be intriguing to see how this quietly thrilling drama portrays the monstrous Bellfield without giving him undue attention Jan 14, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Manhunt examines its real-life case in a way that won't burn you out and won't bore you to tears. That and Clunes' confident performance will keep you watching. Mar 13, 2019 | Full Review… Joel Keller Decider Clunes proves as good at drama as he is at comedy. Mar 11, 2019 | Full Review… Tim Appelo AARP Movies for Grownups A truly absorbing watch. And a guilty one Jan 15, 2019 | Full Review… Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) It exposed, horribly, the random cruelty of the world...but offered the small hope that there were good people out there, quietly cross-referencing, mapping, listening, making sure the worst stories had the best ending possible. Jan 14, 2019 | Full Review… Victoria Segal Sunday Times (UK) There's something likably precise in the old-school focus on how much boring paperwork, staff-wide effort and luck goes into piecing together a complex case. Mar 12, 2019 | Full Review… Tim Goodman Hollywood Reporter Top Critic Clunes felt right, clutching his flask of coffee and delivering an authentic, contained performance of a decent, unflashy grafter. Jan 14, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Carol Midgley Times (UK) Top Critic At times, Manhunt feels like an exploitative theme-park ride through one of the biggest tabloid stories of the millennium.
