Extra Details: I think the current overview written is taken from FaceBook. The field currently locked.

I don't know if this is a better overview (if it is, please replace the current overview):

"Following nine teams of two in a real-life manhunt as they attempt the nearly impossible task of disappearing in today’s vast digital world as highly skilled investigators combine state-of-the-art tracking methods with traditional tactics to pursue and catch them. From searching their targets’ homes and scouring their internet and cell phone histories, to identifying behavioral patterns, Hunters in the field and Command Center investigators work together to identify clues to potential hiding places and collaborators that can ultimately lead to capture. Will the anxiety of being fugitives on the run cause teams to make a critical error, or will they be able to stay off the grid long enough to avoid being found within 100,000 square miles of the southeastern United States? A grand prize of $250,000 will be awarded to each team that successfully evades being caught for up to 28 days."

However, I have taken it from an archived page of the show's page on cbs.com.

It's a bit too long for the series overview, but you could use it for the Season 1 overview. smiley_cat

I think the current overview written is taken from FaceBook.

I didn't click on the link, but I'm guessing a spammer is/was using the API.

Well, I can tell you the link is just a link to a screenshot I uploaded to imgur.

Oh, yeah, I checked your image. I meant the google link to the fishy-looking Facebook page. grin

What about using an edited version of that overview? Like so:

Following teams of two in a real-life manhunt as they attempt the nearly impossible task of disappearing in today’s vast digital world as highly skilled investigators combine state-of-the-art tracking methods with traditional tactics to pursue and catch them.

My preference is to use overviews taken (or edited down) from official sources- and I've concluded that this is also the preference of the db based on this statement in the contribution bible (here):

"Good sources for overviews usually are press releases, press kits or the websites of the producers/distributors."

(Since this section is written in the movie section I'm assuming the websites of the network would also be implied here- when it comes to overviews for TV shows)

EDIT: Alternatively, what about using this as the series' overiew (edited down from an earlier archived page of the show on CBS):

Following 16 people attempting the nearly impossible task of living off the grid, as investigators combine state-of-the-art tracking methods with traditional tactics in the world's most elaborate game of hide & go seek.
