Hunted from Cinemax is a sophisticated and intense spy thriller series that premiered in 2012. The show stars Melissa George, Adam Rayner, Stephen Dillane, Stephen Campbell Moore, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Morven Christie, and Lex Shrapnel, and centers on the story of Sam Hunter, a highly-skilled and secretive spy.

Sam Hunter (Melissa George) works for a private intelligence agency, Byzantium. She's a remarkable spy with a particular knack for undercover work. At the onset of the series, Sam's cover is blown while on assignment in Tangier. She's shot and nearly killed. Upon awaking from her hospital bed, Sam has a newfound resolve to discover who betrayed her.

Sam is reassigned to an investigation in London to solve the mystery behind her traumatic ordeal. She must navigate a complex web of deceptions and betrayal while working to uncover the truth. She gradually learns that the Byzantium Agency she works for is not what it appears to be. Sam pursues the truth tenaciously, driven by her intense desire to unravel the tangled conspiracy unraveling before her.

Hunted is a slick, beautifully shot, and thrilling series that delivers a nuanced exploration of the world of spies and espionage. The show is notable for its tense action sequences, nail-biting suspense, and touching emotional beats.

One of the most compelling aspects of the show is its slow-burn storytelling style. Rather than relying on big, epic set pieces, the story is developed through the various intricate character relationships and the shading of the murky corners of the Byzantium agency. The storytelling style allows the show's excellent cast to show their range and create fully-formed, multidimensional characters.

The acting is of a particularly high caliber. Melissa George delivers a knockout performance as Sam Hunter. She conveys her character's toughness, vulnerability, and piercing intelligence in a way that leaves viewers on the edge of their seats. Adam Rayner also delivers a standout performance as Sam's colleague and love interest, Aidan Marsh. The chemistry between the two characters is electric, and their relationship brings a much-needed soulfulness to the otherwise dark series.

In addition to Sam and Aidan, the other characters in Hunted each have their own agendas and secrets. The cast is uniformly excellent, and the show does an admirable job of giving each cast member a chance to shine in their own way.

The production values of the show are also exceptional. Cinematography, sound design, and music are all top-notch, helping to create a gritty, noirish atmosphere for the series. The landscape of the world that the show exists in is brought vividly to life with high production values.

Overall, Hunted from Cinemax is a thrilling, thought-provoking series that showcases some of the best performances on television. It's a complex, layered story that explores the nature of trust, loyalty, and betrayal. With its intricate plotting, exceptional character development, and high production values, it's no surprise that this spy thriller continues to be a fan favorite years after its initial release.

Hunted is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (21 episodes). The series first aired on January 1, 1970.
