The Hunted - Drama series on BBC1
The Hunted is an Action Thriller
First thing we notice that the main lead is a female, this is subverting the generic conventions of action and thrillers as we would expect the main protagonist. However, what this drama does exceptionally well at is, not only does it show Sam Hunter (the female lead) as the strong and intelligent hero, but it also takes the generic convention of the 'damsel in distress'. Though she may be the hero, she is also seen to be the victim which fulfils its convention.
