Surprisingly incoherent and boring

... View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
... View Morestory is very classic. you can find many similar series in TV. .....................in episode 6. the story about Turkey is completely bullshit and lie. .....................the place is not belong Turkey. Bad Turkish also.it gives wrong information to the people.what is your problem with Turkey?It looks rather cheap, boring characters & cast, and the writing isn't good at all. After only a few minutes you know that sadly it's a waste of time
... View MoreI wanted to like this, I really did. Since the demise of Almost Human and the disappointment of Minority Report, I've been hoping a decent futuristic cop drama might emerge to fill the void.Sadly, Hunters is not it.The only really decent thing about this show are the make-up and special effects. Everything else is just... meh! For a start, there is zero humour or charisma to the whole undertaking. The dull "this is deadly serious people!" attitude of the whole production just drags it down to a level that reminded me of really OLD cop shows from the 70's (Yeah, I am that old!). It's attempt to be grim-dark fails and just leaves it as grim. Grim and cheerless.There is a slightly maniacal (and overacted) main villain who quite literally seems to be the only person having fun in the whole show. Yet even he can't make up for the wrist-slashing tedium of everything else.Whatever interest I managed to conjure up regarding the overarching plot and what was going on swiftly evaporated like a summer shower on hot asphalt. It just isn't that gripping and they look like they are going to be set to drag it out interminably. I quickly lost interest in the "mystery" and the aliens and everything else.None of the characters in the series are remotely interesting. In fact, one-dimensional would be doing them an unjustified service. The characters have no character. It is that simple.Also, if you are going to paint your characters as an elite counter-terrorist unit, at least pay for someone to show the actors how to hold weapons. The main female agent of the show held her rifle awkwardly with the butt in the centre of her chest, pointing directly outward. In episode two she goes one better and holds it (right-handedly) with the butt up to her left shoulder. I can't even begin to tell you how wrong this just looks and the fact that no one noticed this among the production crew says all you really need to know about the show in general.It won't be getting a second series if I'm any judge at all. It's just too dull and lifeless.SUMMARY: Dull, badly made, badly acted, poorly paced. Paper-thin characters, hammy villain, no technical advisors. It would have to be the rainiest of rainy days in Rainville for you to want to watch this. Pass.
... View More''HUNTERS'' I just think that 5.1 is too much for this CRAP. Warning: This series may contain horrible action scenes working together with horrible actors.I couldn't watch it all, i stopped watching in the first 20 minutes because this series really sucks. The history of this crap is a total bullshit. The first episode deserves 1.5, (for their dedication) given for all the mistakes committed.Congratulations for the whole team who did it (writer, director, actors..) you successfully MESSED UP the entire episode.
... View MoreWhen something tries hard to emulate something else, but doesn't quite make it, it enters an area of psychology referred to as the "uncanny valley"; for example, a mannequin that is almost real, but not quite. When a person encounters something that takes them into the uncanny valley, it sets off an anxiety and makes them uncomfortable. This is why we don't make dummies that look too human-like, they put shoppers off."Hunters" lives firmly inside the uncanny valley. Virtually all of the actors are Australian. It's filmed in one of the most Australian of cities, Melbourne, inside Melbourne buildings and houses. They really try their best to put on American accents but outside of the veterans they often fail -- sometimes quite comically. Australia is not North America. Escalators are reversed. Vehicles have the steering wheels on the wrong side. The architecture is distinctly un-American. The list goes on.It's a recipe for a perfect storm of distractions, and when the show itself is quite borderline in terms of plot, acting and editing the last thing you need is to then shove viewers out of what meager frame you have by shouting at them that this is "fake". At the very least the lead actors ought to have been North American. Maybe they could have anchored the rest of it but with all Aussies it's all at sea.
