Storyline

Meet Sam. A spy. A hunter. And herself hunted by an enemy more ruthless and determined than any she's ever known. Sam has been running from her past her entire life but when she returns to Byzantium, the organisation that employs her, and begins to pursue her pursuer, she will discover the only way to escape that past... is to confront it. This is the story of a spy with a bull's eye on her back, a human target unable to trust anyone at any time, even the man she loves. She is, quite literally, running for her life. Hunted is a smart, complex and contemporary spy series.

Exciting stuff but not spectacular

Interesting concept for the Spy or Action thriller. 8 episode series which is built up quite well but there have been many more better and more exciting suspense thrillers. The direction is average, could've been much more slicker and should have aimed for a shorter series maybe. There were too many entanglements which were not needed and was distracting focus from the main story. Editing is a key in a story like this and feel should have been much better for the story as the pace fails at some times and the final episode ends just average. The casting was pretty good and most of them do a good job. Now the question of a second series, I would suggest not to go there, they have kept quite a few opening for another but should resist the temptation.
