Manhunt (TV Miniseries)

"It takes the form of a detective story, but its backdrop, a fragile America deciding how (or if) to move forward after the war, often proves just as interesting" 

"A thrilling, thoughtful snapshot of a nation in flux" 

"The action, such as it is, tends to get bogged down in wordy dialogue and the pace is often sluggish in what feels, at times, like a series of re-enactments from a History Channel documentary" 

"From the first episode of 'Manhunt' it’s apparent that there’s a spark missing. Characters drone on, the lighting is quite bleak and it's not until the actual assassination that the promise of a 'conspiracy thriller' feels real (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 

"Informative but sluggish (...) [It] is labeled a conspiracy thriller. Yet the seven-episode series doesn’t offer many thrills" 

"[It] is fine, but its scattershot focus turn it into a slog at times. However, I'm confident that 'Manhunt' will eventually be remembered fondly" 

"Be prepared to walk away with a reshaped understanding of events —or, at the very least, an appreciation for this new examination of one of the most infamous crimes in history"
