Absolutely loved this series. Can not wait for another season with another Manhunt of another felon.

This is a dramatization om the Unabomber saga that is best enjoyed as fiction. Some of the most bizarre episodes, such as the Harvard psych experiments, are quite close to the truth, but the film makers' choice to let the FBI agent and the Unabomber meet face to face, distorts the true story of the investigation and the trial. Almost all of the characters, including Fitz and Kaczynski, are so-called composite characters, or entirely made up. The show uses first person point of view in a very effective manner. Ted Kaczynski starts out as Hannibal Lecter, because Fitz sees him that way, but he ends up being manipulated and chrushed by the system. At first glance Worthington's Fitz looks like the familiar stereotype of the lone, brilliant profiler fighting against his unenlightened bosses, but in fact he longs for their recognition. Fitz is clearly an anti-hero; obsessed, sullen, casually illoyal to family, friends and co-workers. In the last episode he turns into the sinister dr. Henry Murray from Harvard, and uses his psychological insight to manipulate Kaczynski into pleading guilty. But he still doesn't get the respect he craves from the world. In the end, as he drives into the sunset with the beautiful linguist, he stares at the red light, the symbol of the technological society, as if it is all he ever desired.

Keep on keeping on. Trust me, it gets better. This show does a great job displaying two fundamentally important things: 1. illustrating, on a profound level, who the Unabomber is & 2. introducing the man who was the driving heart in the investigation and, with full determination, who knew full well the correct direction with which to approach and solve the caseThe first few episodes, I was not totally sold & still had some reservations about why the rating for this show was so high. But the show continued to get better & better dramatically so. I fully enjoyed watching this show & even went through a plethora of emotions. Well done. Bravo. Good job.

This was a pleasant surprise. Great straight-up effective storytelling that kept me watching in a few days as I found it hard to stop. The actor performances are more than adequate, especially those by Sam Worthington (Fitzgerald) and Paul Bettany (Ted Kaczynski). who both renders their characters convincingly with depth and heart.This piece avoids the typical pitfalls of standard fare criminal series and has the courage to portrait at least some aspects of the deeper story of the life of Ted Kaczynski without hiding his crimes.
