The challenge for The Hunt for Raoul Moat as a piece of television is telling that story without making Moat the anti-establishment hero he so wanted to be. It isn’t easy, either, because a manhunt is gripping theatre. The Hunt for Raoul Moat’s triumph is that it gets the balance right.

The Hunt for Raoul Moat turned out not to be a voyeuristic rehash but a thoughtful, sensible telling of the monstrous 2010 rampage of this misogynistic, pudding-faced bully. It reminded us of the people who really matter: his victims.

The drama is a tense and faithful re-enactment of what happened, and why.

The Hunt for Raoul Moat was gruesomely transfixing, with a pressure-cooker tension that ratcheted steadily upwards from the moment Moat stepped out of jail. Sam and Chris were sensitively drawn as thoughtful and kind people.

The Hunt For Raoul Moat is a pretty by-the-numbers limited series about a real-life manhunt. However, the performances are compelling enough, and the runtime short enough, to keep viewers engaged.

There's no denying that this series is once again an example of how ITV continues to pull off heart-racing true crime dramas, but it never truly breaks out of the shadow of the killer.

Sep 5, 2023
The series determinedly reframes the narrative that was established back in 2010 and battles to not be part of the 24-hour news media circus that swept the nation 13 years ago. But in some respects it becomes a tad finger-wagging and sanctimonious given that the show is technically also profiting from the tragedy. It strives to walk as respectful a line as possible but, as is the case with all true crime programming, some ethical considerations and questions aren’t easily answered.
