Manhunt: unabomber

[Rubyslippers7780]

Just finished this on Netfix. Really interesting. Has anyone seen it?

Anyone?? I really loved it and want to recommend it!!

I have. I found it fascinating.

And who knew that was Paul Bettany?

I thought the 'breaking' at Harvard was horrific! How was that allowed??

I watched it recently and really enjoyed it :)

Yes, I really enjoyed it too. I kept googling the real people involved and it seems so close to what actually happened. I was aware of the story and investigation, but had no idea of the scope of the pursuit and efforts put in to tracking him down. My god, Paul Bettany was unrecognisable! He was then the badie in the Solo Star Wars film. Such a good actor. The Harvard psychological element was shocking and I'm sure had a big part to play in how he ended up doing the things he did. Awful for his brother, sister in law and mum.

I saw it a few months ago and found it fascinating.

I couldn't get into it so I only watched 2 eps... is it really worth trying again?

I couldn't get into it so I only watched 2 eps...

Such a killer question isn't it?! I think 2 episodes is quite a good commitment so it's probably not for you. I'm really lazy these days and blame the enormous choice of options with iPlayer, Netflix, Prime etc. If something hasn't hooked me after 20 minutes or so, I generally let my attention drift (to my phone usually) so then pay less attention, claim the series was a bit meh and can't be bothered with a second episode. When there were less quality options available, I'm sure I put more effort in to engaging and persevering with storylines.
Unabomber does heat up though as they attempt to close the net on him.

I'm the same @LittleLebowski . I did it with Breakig Bad too! Everyone was going crazy and I'm like I might give it another go... nothing else to do on mat leave
