Max Gao AV Club The premise of The Hunting Party—searching for serial killers whose ill-advised treatments have rendered them even more vicious—is intriguing in theory, but the writers have somehow chosen the dullest possible execution of that vision. Rated: D+ Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety In what feels like a mix between NBC’s “The Blacklist” and CBS’ “Criminal Minds,” the series is disturbing, and a tad predictable -- but is an overall engaging watch. Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com It’s a show produced by algorithms and focus groups, a product with no pulse whatsoever. Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media The formulaic crime series attempts to heighten the drama by positioning a weekly cat-and-mouse plot within a larger narrative about secretive and unethical government behavior. Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Laura Nowak TV Fanatic Besides chasing another brutal serial killer, Bex dealt with feeling torn between Oliver and Jacob as the men hurled accusations about who caused the explosion at the Pit. This tested team dynamics since Bex still didn’t know who to trust. Rated: 4/5 Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Joel Keller Decider The Hunting Party is a generic action series that seems to operate on twists that either aren’t that surprising or are pretty much useless.

Danielle H This series is a serious must see. It is well written and keeps you on your toes. I absolutly love the idea of this show and can't wait for season 2. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review Kiki s The idea of a story that runs like a common thread through all the episodes, but at the same time allows each episode to create a complete narrative, is appealing. But what really brings a series like this to life are the actors. It should be mentioned here that Nick Wechsler is brilliant as Oliver Odell and embodies his role like no other. True to detail and absolutely thrilling!! As the central character in this series, his performance succeeds in capturing the tension time and again. Absolutely convincing!!! This naturally makes the anticipation for another season with this outstanding actor absolutely huge. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review John C I stayed up until 4am. I watched the entire season in one shot. I loved it so much. It's like the darkest parts of criminal minds and that has 18 season. I think this show is fantastic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Dim H It's fresh and fun, like the dynamics between the lead players. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Ninja T Twist & turns - a great premium procedural! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Artyom G Bland, predictable, tasteless, and boring — basically ’90s air TV without the nostalgia. An 18% critic score sounds fair. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
