You'll notice that especially in an episode like "Escaped" where the Task Force is seemingly hot on the tail of an escaped convict but he eludes them so much that they feel as if their chasing an apparition sometimes.Įach episode of Manhunters is presented in 1.33:1 Full Frame format and all comes through nice and well but they aren't necessarily pretty. The humor and often times idiocy of COPS is not present here since it takes on a more serious tone so be fully aware that this is serious from start to finish.
Cast of manhunters fugitive task force series#
It's a season though that will determine whether this is a series you'll love or hate though because trust me that Manhunters isn't for everyone. Season one is fun for more reasons though since we're being introduced to the team and can learn a bit more about them. It's nice that A&E lets their series showcase not just successes but failures as well because it keeps things as realistic as possible. It's a dangerous job that needs to be taken seriously without skipping even the smallest of steps.īe prepared that some episodes may be a little dull here and there if they can't find any information or really can't get a lead on the fugitive they're searching for but it's all part of the job. Let it be known that they also have to make sure they're fully prepared because who knows when a fugitive could have a posse or barrage of weapons to attack anyone that gets near him. Before even getting into the vans and trucks to search the streets the team gets together and looks for leads and information that may steer them in the right direction. That isn't all you get though while watching Manhunters because there is so much more to their job that a lot of civilians may not realize. Call me sinister or just a typical male, but there is something really awesome about a door being broken down by sheer force and some low-life fugitive being tackled hard to the ground by a bulky cop. One of my favorite things about the series is that the Task Force holds nothing back and can actually get rather violent at times.
Manhunters is like that series in some ways but takes it not just one but many steps further. Sometimes it really doesn't matter who or what stands in their way because together they have the power and abilities to track down some of the most dangerous people on the streets and put them behind bars.ĬOPS has been on the air since I was a child and it has long been a show that can take away hours of my day or weekend no matter what has to be done. Included in the Task Force are members of different local, federal, and state agencies that are allowed to cross state lines and jurisdictions in order to apprehend their targets. They certainly don't hunt down and kill anyone (unless absolutely necessary), but they do whatever it takes to track down the fugitives they are looking for and bring them to justice. As a unit they are considered to be "manhunters," which is to coin a phrase very lightly. Marshals Fugitive Task Force is a team of some of the most hard-hitting men and women out there making sure to keep the streets of America clean. Maybe it's just because being a manhunter or cop or detective is a position that isn't something I was meant to be but always wanted to be.who knows? It's still a lot of fun to watch. Manhunters: Fugitive Task Force is a series that allows me to have that morbid sense of satisfaction come true on a weekly basis because it lets me see people being tracked down like animals on a hunting safari and brought forth so they can serve their time. I don't care if the people getting what they deserve are poor or handicapped or on drugs or anything else because they broke the law and need to be given all they have coming to them. Call me strange or odd or weird, but watching real-life series that depict people being brought to justice is something that just makes me smile.
