Hunters

If you can suspend the most basic common sense and stop wondering why not a single agent of CIA, Brits, Mossad, KGB, etc. Ever turn up, not even at the very end, you can enjoy the show, although with a bit of help from the fast forward button in some sappy parts.

But, buried deep inside this mediocre series, there is a gem, a brilliant episode that shines bright and stands so tall on its own that I believe most of those who have watched it will call it one of the greatest episodes of TV in the last couple of years- The Home, the 7th episode of 2nd season. If the entire show had that tone, vibe, atmosphere, and those Wes Anderson-ish colors/symmetries, the series would have been an instant classic. Do not miss that episode. One can even watch it without watching anything preceding it as it's a stand-alone episode (though you will see a big spoiler at the very end).

I quite enjoyed season 1, and would rate it at 7-8. I thought it was well done, thought provoking etc. I was quite looking forward to season 2. Season 2 was disappointing, almost from the beginning I had to push myself to watch. There are many episodes that have way too many guns, and shooting - likely to try to appeal to a certain audience, that is not me. (it was like a Rambo action movie or full metal jacket - except not in times of war, to the point it became ridiculous). Only a few episodes of season 2 stood out to me (eg the house). I gave up in the end as couldn't focus and it became an effort in the end. Al Pacino does a good job though.

Hunters was actually a pretty fun show. I was looking forward to seeing this after watching the trailers and seeing that Al Pacino was involved but then after reading so many mixed reviews my expectations tempered a bit. Well, after really enjoying the first season I was for season two, I'm about halfway through right now and it's even better than the first. It's too bad that they're only doing two seasons overall but that might actually be perfect for a show like this. You don't want it to overstay its welcome and hang around just for the sake of hanging around. Id definitely recommend if you haven't seen this yet, just give yourself enough time because you're going to want to binge it.

Hunters is about some Nazi hunters in the late 70's in New York City that find out that there are hundreds of high ranking Nazi officials that are living among them. The hunters then go hunt them down and bring justice to them and also stop their new genocidal plans. I really wasn't sure what to expect from Hunters with all the mixed reviews, I've never seen a show so split between people liking it or not. After watching season 1, I thought it was a pretty good show that was absolutely worth watching! Now after finishing season two it became even that much better. Season two was fantastic. I don't understand what some of these negative reviewers wanted? There's plenty of action, comedy, drama, mystery, twists, etc., to please most people. It's too bad it was only two seasons long but at least it didn't go out with a cliffhanger.

I've read some really negative reviews on here I'm not sure why. I'll admit they could've and should've dialed down the schmaltzy accents a bit but other than that I've really enjoyed it. The Tarantino references are more homage than plagiarism I feel. Well worth watching.
