Hey everyone. From now on I'll be doing tv shows, movies and music album reviews and posting what I think about them on Steemit. This is new to me but I believe with time, my content quality will be more appealing to all of you. Anyways, lets cut down to the chase. We are talking about the eight hour mini tv show: Manhunt: Unabomber.

Who is this guy?

Theodore John Kaczynski, a.k.a Unabomber, started to bomb innocent people with untraceable bombs starting in 1978 and ending in 1997. He is a very high intelligent man who abandoned an academic career to pursue a primitive lifestyle. He built a house in the woods with his brother David, near Lincoln, Montana where he lived off the grid, learning survival skills in an attempt to become self sufficient. Ted Kaczynski hated technology. He believed that technology prisoned us, took our freedom. He killed dozens of people by mail bombs, targeting those specifically involved with modern technology. In order to make his message seen he wrote a manifesto  called "Industrial Society and Its Future" and promised to desist from terrorist acts if The New York Times or The Washing Post published it.  He is currently serving life in prison.

My Review:

Manhunt: Unabomber is an interesting story, it depicts how years of using conventional methods failed to catch the America's most notorious serial bomber, but what caught him was something experimental and new.  And that was called: Linguistic Analysis. Linguistic Analysis is like forensic evidence in someway. The way you write things, how you form your sentences and which proverbs you use makes your identity. You'll see what I'm talking about when you watch the show.

It's intense and the Unabomber is brilliantly performed by Paul Bettany. You may say to yourselves "Isn't that the Marvel superhero Vision/Jarvis?". Yes, thats the guy. This series makes you wonder why we don't see that much of him on TV. It makes you sad that he won't be nominated for an Oscar because it is a TV Show. He shows the depth of acting he can offer as Ted Kacyznski; the fragility, hopelessness and anger.

The show follows our protagonist, an FBI profiler called Fitz who focuses on the way Unabomber writes. In the beginning it makes you wonder how an happily married family man is living in a cabin two years later. What made his life come to this?

Like every documentary that made its way to TV, this show has its inaccuracies too. For example, there were a number of people that worked on the letters from Unabomber, in the show they make it seem like Fitz solved it singlehandedly. 

Does historical accuracy matter? I think it does. On overall it is an entertaining series despite that the producers didn't tell us how Fitz's life fell apart, which makes him live out in the wilderness all by himself. I wish the writers of the show portrayed a more chaotic nature, showing us the real side of the investigation rather than creating a hero.
