The crime
None, strictly speaking — although that doesn’t preclude cop bastardry.

The story
On a recent episode of The Docket, Eve and I talked about true-crime reality shows and crossovers we might like to see, with me hoping for “Amazing Race, but lamsters.” Enter a text tipster to let me know that, in fact, that already exists:

Have you ever watched or reviewed the British reality tv show Hunted? It seems to fill the reality show/true crime gap Sarah described on The Docket. I've only seen some of the first season (2015-before they added celebrities, how original) and couldn't stop watching the sheer openness with which privacy-decimating tech is used by current and former law enforcement officials to track contestants through the country as they're all trying to drop off the grid. It's the darkest amazing race.

It’s hard to believe I hadn’t seen Hunted, or even heard of it — although, with a title that bland, I guess it’s actually eminently plausible1 — but (ironically?) it’s quite easy to track down on YouTube, so I plopped down with a couple of second-series episodes over last weekend.
