Manhunt: Deadly Games is a miniseries that tells the real-life story of Atlanta’s 1996 Olympic Park bombing. The show follows the investigation and examines how security guard Richard Jewell (Cameron Britton) became a prime suspect. Not only is it gaining popularity on Netflix, but it also received a 71 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is actually quite impressive.
In addition to Britton, Manhunt: Deadly Games also stars Jack Huston (Eric Rudolph), Judith Light (Bobi Jewell), Carla Gugino (Kathy Scruggs), Gethin Anthony (Jack Brennan), Kelly Jenrette (Stacy Knox), Arliss Howard (Earl Embry), Jay O. Sanders (Jack Bryant), Nick Searcy (Sheriff Thompson), Marley Shelton (Hannah Gray), Becky Ann Baker (Patricia Rudolph) and Brad William Henke (Big John).
Since Manhunt is an anthology series, Deadly Games is considered season two. Season one—titled Unabomber—documents the FBI’s nationwide hunt for the Unabomber in the ’90s. In particular, it follows Agent Jim “Fitz” Fitzgerald (Sam Worthington), a criminal profiler who invents the use of forensic linguistics. Unfortunately, Unabomber isn’t available for streaming on Netflix (at least not yet).
