‘Manhunt: Deadly Games' Is An Outstanding Series About Richard Jewell And Eric Rudolph
2020-12-18
[Daily Caller] "Manhunt: Deadly Games" is an awesome TV series.

The series from Spectrum recently hit Netflix, and I wasted literally no time firing it up. The show revolves around the 1996 bombing at the Olympics in Atlanta, the aftermath with Richard Jewell and the hunt for Eric Rudolph.

If you watched the movie about Richard Jewell from Clint Eastwood, then I can promise that you’re going to love "Manhunt: Deadly Games."

#6  What is cool is Eastwoods "Richard Jewell" is on as I write this.

Needless to say, I am a fan of Sam Rockwell

#5  Maybe hand authority to ATF or amp the Treasury Department. But FBI looks more rotted every year.


I AM happy more people pay attention to the injustice of the Jewell case.

Manhunt is a good series. Too bade netflix gave it the axe.


Also, GOD Bless Richard Jewell.

#4  It is a good series. It illustrates why the FBI should be disbanded.

#3  Btw a great movie directed by Clint Eastwood. The actress who plays the bitch journalist is convincingly awful -- chilling even. The Don Draper actor does a good job as her FBI sap.

The no-name who played Jewell is extraordinary, as is Kathy Bayes as his mom.

#2  I watched this. The Feebs REALLY come off looking bad, BATFE comes off looking OK, and there's a surprise twist I didn't know about.

No idea how accurate it is, but it's worth watching.

#1  Jewell was an easy target for the media to make fun of. He was a downtrodden man, he wasn’t overly impressive as an individual on your first look, he lived with his mother and he didn’t have a ton of money.

A sad but true commentary on the American justice system, the media, and the FBI.
