Discovery Channel released a crime drama "Manhunt: Unabomber" based on a true story. By the degree of interest, this story can be compared with Zodiac. I watched 3 episodes and share my impression with you.
Sam Worthington starring as Jim Fitzgerald - FBI profiler.
The narrative shows us 2 times - the past with the investigation and the present with collecting evidence for the trial.
In silence, we hear the words of Unabomber, his manifesto. And it is very difficult not to agree with him.
more people have died from suicide in just the time we've been talking than I allegedly killed in my entire career. More people died from anti-depressants, plastic surgery, fast food. Why...W-why is everybody so terrified of me?
The history of Unabomber is known to many and it would not be so interesting to watch it if the creators did not add Jim Fitzgerald struggle against the FBI system. Since his arrival in the department, Jim is trying to subdue and force him to do what he does not want. He wants freedom of action. Jim has progressive methods of work, but the bosses know best. They make fun of him, mock him, try to fire him. But he does not give up and stubbornly comes through. The TV series atmosphere is very grim. Despite the monotonous narrative, we are constantly brought back to reality through explosions and memories of murdered people.
As I said Manhunt: Unabomber is very similar to Zodiac. If you liked Zodiac, you will like it and Manhunt: Unabomber.
