WE HUNT TOGETHER
Showtime, 10:00 p.m. ET
The slow pace of this murder mystery miniseries works in its favor, because the filmmakers have used the time to reveal, very slowly and deliberately, key insights about their primary four characters. The two sets of complicated people have a lot in common: both the British investigators and the killers they’re pursuing are a white woman paired with a black man, and, as we’ve come to learn, the women in both relationships are more flawed, less kind, and aggressively abrasive. It took three episodes for the police duo to realize that the female suspect in their sights was working with a partner – and tonight is episode four, in which the cops get more dogged and determined, which frustrates their weary boss. When she’s waiting for an elevator at work, and the doors open to reveal the persistent pair within (pictured), the boss says something that made me laugh out loud. “Jesus, you two,” she tells them. “You’re like those kids from The Shining.” Watch and enjoy – and also enjoy the clever opening credits, where neon signs dotting city streets are shown with letters that burn out into darkness, revealing a whole new, and much more sinister, meaning. “DANGER” becomes “ANGER,” “GARAGE” becomes “RAGE.” “DINE” becomes “DIE,” And “STRIP CLUB,” with six letters that suddenly go dark, becomes “R.I.P.”
