The highly-praised US show Manhunt: Unabomber, boasting a 93% Rotten Tomatoes rating, is now up for grabs to stream at no cost across the UK. After its initial release on Netflix, viewers

can now watch the series on STV Player, a streaming service accessible throughout the UK. The eight-episode drama Manhunt: Unabomber dramatises the FBI's quest to capture the

'Unabomber', a notorious criminal genius behind a deadly terror spree across America that claimed three lives and wounded another 23. Sam Worthington, a known face from Hollywood,

stars as Jim "Fitz" Fitzgerald, an FBI profiler on a mission to track down the shrewd terrorist. Facing off against not only the cunning Unabomber, Fitz also contends with the

bureaucracy within the UNABOM Task Force, a collective of law enforcement agencies dedicated to the case, reports Surrey Live. Pioneering forensic linguistics in his investigations, Fitz

battles scepticism from his peers within the task force wary of his unorthodox methods. Will Fitz be able to navigate the bureaucratic maze and put an end to two decades of terror in

America? The cast includes Paul Bettany, the BAFTA-nominated British actor who portrays Ted Kaczynski, the mathematician and ex-Berkeley professor later identified as the infamous Unabomber

in 1996. The series has garnered critical acclaim, with The Hollywood Reporter praising its portrayal of how conventional methods failed to capture America's most infamous serial

bomber, ultimately giving way to innovative approaches. The Los Angeles Times lauded the show, describing it as "equal parts true-crime drama, psychological thriller" and declaring

it a "win on all fronts". STV Player also offers the second instalment of the Manhunt anthology series, Manhunt: Deadly Games, which chronicles the FBI's pursuit of the 1996

Olympic Games bomber. If Manhunt isn't to your taste, STV Player provides a diverse range of alternatives. You can also watch the Canadian legal drama Burden of Truth, the Irish police

procedural Red Rock, or New Zealand's longest-running drama, Shortland Street.
