Reception in Germany

Sarah Zimmermann from Die Zeit said: "The series 'Hunted' does not revolutionize the genre of agents. It is still addictive. (...) Accompanied by synthetic tickling, pounding beats and off-screen clock ticking, this concept works dramatically well. So good, that you have to watch episode one episode two. And episode two episode three. "

Anna Meinecke from n-tv was a little more critical of the series: "Maybe Melissa George doesn't play convincingly enough, maybe the script is too bad - in any case, George can't turn a familiar plot into a TV masterclass. But she doesn't have to either. Spies, international conspiracies and terrorism are usually more exciting in reality than in the adaptation of moving images. Why are espionage films so popular anyway? Because they are fun. And that also applies to 'Hunted'. The show ranks among the lavishly produced ones Agent thrillers. With clumsy dialogue, unnecessary sex scenes and explicit depictions of violence, 'Hunted' may not be surprising, but it is good. "

Publication in German-speaking countries

The only season of the series was released on September 26, 2014 on Entertainment One on DVD and BluRay.
