All 3 episodes of Martin Clunes’ “absorbing” crime drama just dropped at a new UK streaming home

by

The entirety of Manhunt season one is available to stream right now on Disney+.

I recently stumbled across this series, and it’s seriously gripping. It’s based on a true story – the investigation into the tragic death of Amélie Delagrange, a French student. The hunt for her killer eventually led to Levi Bellfield, and the show details how they caught him. It first came out in 2019, but I’m just getting around to it now!

Martin Clunes plays Chief Inspector Colin Sutton, the detective who headed up the Metropolitan Police investigation.

He acts with Claudie Blakley, playing his wife Louise Sutton, and Stephen Wight, who plays Detective Constable Clive Grace.

The first season was a major hit, drawing the largest audience for a new ITV drama since *Broadchurch* premiered in 2013.

I was so thrilled when it won two BAFTA Cymru awards! And the best news? They made a second season, and you can stream it right now on ITVX. I’m already hooked!

The first season of *Manhunt* has received a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics agree that the show is a compelling dramatization of a famous British crime, focusing on the investigative process rather than sensationalizing the details.

The Observer called it a “truly captivating show,” and AARP Movies for Grownups highlighted Martin Clunes’ performance, noting that Manhunt is just as strong as a drama as it is a comedy.

According to a review in *Decider*, *Manhunt* presents its true story in an engaging way-it’s neither exhausting nor dull. Combined with Alan Cumming’s strong performance, the show is sure to hold your attention.

According to *The Hollywood Reporter*, the show is appealingly detailed in its depiction of the considerable, and often tedious, work, teamwork, and chance involved in solving a complicated case.

According to *The Sunday Times*, the story vividly showed how cruel and unpredictable life can be, but also suggested that kind people exist who work behind the scenes to help ensure the best possible outcomes, even in the most difficult situations.

According to NPR, the show *Manhunt* is comforting to viewers because the criminals are caught, and importantly, the show doesn’t glamorize or portray them in a sympathetic light.

Manhunt season one is available to stream now on Disney+. Season two can be streamed on ITVX
