Manhunt: Unabomber

Hey Guys,

welcome to the series Manhunt: Unabomber. I am a big fan of that profiling stuff. I found it really interesting. So when I saw this ‘new’ series i knew I had to watch it. This is a true story. Normally I try to not watch such stories because it makes the stuff even worse. I love for example Criminal Minds and I can imagine that this could totally be real. But it still is a story. But when it is not it is more … it is harder to put it away. Because it is real.

The lovely Characters

Okay, let’s start with the truth. I watch the series for the story. Because the characters are not sympathetic. The FBI Agent is so closed of. Form the first moment on the party… he seems so distant and this only grows in the series. He is brilliant and intelligent but he doesn’t get the simples things like family and loyalty. It seems easy for him to give up colleague that help him. Or he don’t get why his wife is so angry at him for leaving the kids in the cinema.
So he drive everyone around away and you get the others – except for Natalie Rogers. I really don’t get why she is so angry at him for wanting her professional opinion and help on the letters.

Best Episode

The best Episode was definitely the one from the perspective of the Unabomber. The most important part is nothing he had to go through can excuse what he did. He killed people as a statement. But the episode shows us an other side of him. A side that maybe want to stop this, someone who got broken by other people. And it makes us thing if it could have been prevented. When his family had offered him real help. For someone who already has problems with socializing and then let him skip two classes. I get that he is so intelligent and that this was the easiest option to encourage his intelligent. But he has problems building a relationship with people the age and that all these people are two years older makes it so much harder.
He did had an easy life and yes he always tended to a violent solution. But still I think that he is in fact a good example that the evil is being made not born.
He still deserve his punishment.

Watching or not

I really found interesting. We see a lot profiling in the series today. But here they are doing all this by analysing is writing pattern and this is really exciting. So yeah if you are interested in this stuff watch it. I will definitely watch the following seasons that hopefully will come.
