I watched the first couple of episodes of THE HUNTING PARTY. In this
there is a super secret underground prison where super secret
experiments are being run on the prisoners (all super dangerous
types.) Then something happens and there is big explosion that allows
many of the super secret (supposedly already dead) prisoners to
escape.

So a former FBI profiler is called back in to help re-capture the
escapees before they kill or are discovered to still be alive. This
really feels like a rehash of the ideas behind the series ALCATRAZ. In
that one a bunch of inmates from Alcatraz disappear in the 60s and
reappear in modern day times and need to be re-captured before they
kill again. In that one there was some sort of conspiracy where
experiments were done on the inmates that apparently helped them to
time jump. In THE HUNTING PARTY aside from the super secret prison
holding super secret prisoners that are supposedly already dead (to
the outside world) there appears to be a conspiracy that created the
explosion that allowed the prisoners to escape. Again, a similar idea
behind both shows.

What did you watch?
