    It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

    Flynn Carroll (Nathan Phillips) is an FBI agent struggling to find his missing wife. His search leads to alien Hunters and Homeland Security's Exo-Terrorism Unit out to stop them. He is teamed up with Regan (Britne Oldford) who is an extraterrestrial herself. Their power is sonic in nature. There is a secret invasion and purge. As they investigate, the world gets more complicated.I'm willing to give some props to the show for a few interesting ideas. I really like the sonic nature of the aliens which is a little different than the usual fare. However, the show is jumbled and packed. I don't think it's well-thought out. It's a muddled mess. The concept could be laid out better and given more time to germinate. I like Britne but Nathan is not that charismatic. This is a lost cause before it got to the screen.

    Episode 1 was quite a failure in presenting the series properly. Too much of action and too little plot. Unfortunately I didn't continue the series based on the poor first episode, but I got curious by the latest episode 04 due to boredom and after watching it I was kinda hooked and played all the episodes in reverse to get the whole story. The main unit characters (3) are the most interesting part in the whole series due to their changing relationship with each other (hate/curiosity/confusion). I smell a possible alien/ human relationship coming...hopefully. There is one thing especially which is still bugging me and it is the main female character (who should be the lead) who is pictured to be quite strong because she's alien, has violent/ sexual urges etc but in every fight she has been in, she loses or somehow the suspect escapes. WTF? She should kick some serious ass. Make her more Domina, scary in a sexy way.

    I avoided Hunters for the 1st couple of episodes and then tried episode #3 and all I wanted was the back-story: who is Allison, how did she get here, what happened to her parents, who the hell is chasing her and why is she different from the difference, never mind the humans?.So I started in on #2 and then to #1 and I was even more hooked. Hunters has a highly atmospheric, Dark City/Synchronicity look and feel. It is cinematically very dark to carry off the Predator thread. Hunters is well acted, good dialogue and not overly FXd. I mentioned Predator, Aliens and Spock but it also resembles The Americans in its paranoia and the unease I feel while watching it. It definitely plays to the unease with 'the other' going on in US society, particularly with the trans-gendered issues of gender bending but more toward what will eventually happen when we are augmented by nanotechnology to the point of being 'aliens' in our own societies.I think if you like The Aliens on E4 you will enjoy Hunters as well. I'm in.--Thom

    I 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.
