Arihant Bothra

Special team finds propaganda sites and presses, confirming Haribabu&apos;s role. Some suspects evade arrest. They catch Koneshwaran, from a 9-person Jaffna team. Evidence reveals a near-miss second assassination attempt.

If You Prick Us, You Will Bleed Too.

After Ep 1&apos;s near-flawless execution, Ep 2 (&quot;If You Prick Us, You Will Bleed Too&quot;) is a reality check. Still good, but the seams are starting to show.

The procedural elements remain strong. Kukunoor continues his restrained approach, letting the investigation breathe without artificial urgency. Amit Sial&apos;s Kaarthikeyan is still commanding, though here we see glimpses of the political pressure mounting-a nice touch that adds layers to his character.

Where Ep 2 stumbles is pacing. The middle section drags as we follow multiple investigation threads that don&apos;t quite gel together. Unlike the tight focus of the opener, this episode feels slightly scattered. The Tamil Nadu sequences work well, but the Delhi political maneuvering feels less authentic... more like standard TV drama than the documentary-style realism we had before.

Production values remain solid, but some supporting performances feel wooden compared to the central cast. The dialogue switching between languages is still jarring, and now it&apos;s happening more frequently.

Credit where due: the episode doesn&apos;t shy away from the complexity of the case. The web of conspiracies and false leads accurately reflects how messy real investigations get. But that realism comes at the cost of narrative momentum.

The verdict: Still worth watching, but Ep 2 reminds us that even well-intentioned true crime series can fall into familiar traps. The Hunt remains above average, just not exceptional.

Bottom line: Good enough to keep me watching, but I&apos;m hoping Ep 3 recaptures that opening magic.
