The Hunting Party

There's some nice CGI in the first five minutes of this new show. I won't even spoil the plot by elaborating. So, basically, this a fever dream of all previous inmate on the run dramas. There's usually a flawed but brilliant ex-cop dragged back into service, and there is one here.

Instead I'll point out the parts in the first two episodes which irritated me due to their idiocy.

1. An FBI agent enters a room and doesn't clear it before opening an animal cage. Nope.

2. An FBI agent lets an accessory to a crime roam around a house while they wander off to find the main bad guy. Nope

3. When you take a call, don't turn your back on the other person in the room. Or it makes you look stupid. And don't talk about the reason the person behind you is probably going to use to kill you. Double nope.

4. Don't have characters in your show that work for the CIA, but share all the secrets they know 5 minutes into the show because the other lead shouts at them. Nope-ity nope nope.

5. Don't have characters say that they are deliberately keeping secrets from the president. I'm pretty sure that anyone found doing this would be in deep rose fertilizer.

6. IF the US really had a place like the one in the show, they wouldn't need GTMO in Cuba.

Apart from that it was well written. Wasn't it? NOPE.
