Struggling against revealing the horrible truth behind the intrigue that held against mankind, this drama, follows the battles of a gathering of Nazi hunters, who live in New York during the 1970s, when they discover a huge gathering of Nazis officials, who plan for making another Fourth Reich in New York, what challenges them, as they give a valiant effort to bring them to justice.
"Hunters" lives in a state of emergency, which necessitates action more than it mirrors reality. It's an effective, fictionalized premise, but one that's also dependent on the viewer being able to enjoy a particularly harsh blend of fact and fiction.
Jonah is essentially Luke Skywalker and Meyer is Obi Wan; the neo-Nazi is Kylo Ren. The proposed Fourth Reich is the First Order, and Hunters is, regardless of its iffy ethics, Star Wars with the SS.
It's a fast, frenetic show that's all over the place - emotionally, violently and conspiratorially. Its darkly humorous bent competes with its righteous sincerity.
In a weird way, Hunters feels like an unintentional echo of HBO's Watchmen -- It remains to be seen if Hunters will capture the same kind of heartbreaking nuance and current relevance as that series did last fall.
At times, it embraces its B-movie style, making for a show that can be very clever and fun, but it's also exhausting, occasionally aggressive in its toxicity.
The show often doesn't seem aware of what it wants to be. It might be campy, pulpy, even absurdist at times, while taking a misaimed stab at drama at others, and being nauseatingly violent throughout.
Hunters is such an enticing premise as to overcome its execution problems, at least for a while. But the tone of this Amazon series varies wildly, leaving behind a show that isn't bad, but which really should be a whole lot better.
[T]he show is audacious, tonally complex, not always in control of its message, visually arresting, and, particularly in its grim flashbacks to the brutalities and the courage in the death camps, moving.
