NBC’s “The Hunting Party” ratchets up the tension this Monday with a chilling pursuit of a charming but deadly serial killer. Mark Marsden, known as the Widower, has a disturbing pattern: he marries, then murders. With three wives already in his wake, Marsden is now looking for wife number four. Former profiler Bex and her team – a mix of ex-soldiers, spies, and special agents – are in a race against time to stop him before he claims another victim.
Marsden’s appeal, the episode suggests, lies in his deceptive charisma. He’s handsome, charming, the kind of guy who could easily win over unsuspecting women. This makes him all the more dangerous. “The Hunting Party” excels at this kind of cat-and-mouse game, pitting Bex’s sharp instincts against Marsden’s manipulative nature.
“The Hunting Party” airs Monday, March 17th at 10:00 PM ET on NBC.
