Plot

An in-depth look at how an FBI profiler helped track down the terrorist Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.

Manhunt: Unabomber (formerly known as "Manifesto") will explore how the FBI caught infamous criminal masterminds, with each closed-ended season following a different case. The first season will focus on the FBI agent, a highly specialized linguist, who using unconventional means brought Ted Kaczynski, aka the "Unabomber", to justice after nearly a 20-year manhunt. The show, said to be heavily serialized and darkly psychological in the vein of True Detective,would provide insight into the criminal and the case but also the psychological effects the cases have on the FBI agents assigned to hunt down the most dangerous criminals who often delve into a kind of madness of their own, becoming totally absorbed in the crimes and forced to live inside the darkest minds imaginable for years.—ahmetkozan

1995. FBI profiler James R Fitzgerald is brought onto the Unabom task force, a team investigating the bombings and murders perpetrated by an unidentified man know simply as the Unabomber. Many of the methods he will use to identify the perpetrator are new and untested.—grantss

As mentioned in other plot descriptions, this series is about the manhunt on several high profile criminal 'masterminds' in a 'True Detective' like stile. Every season is a complete and separate case, only touching each other due to location and time similarity. The first season is about the UNABOMBER, Ted Kaczynski. The second season is about the Atlanta, Olympic center bomber. It's not only about the crime and the manhunt but also an in dept impression how people involved as wel as communities are effected. It also gives the viewer a peek in the powerstructures in government organizations like the FBI. All and all worth to watch.—Tiny T
