I am not good at reviews. I really enjoyed the show.
The negative thing that stood really out for me is the "german" language used in the show. That is not german.
If you are german and watching this in english, listening to the pseudo-german spoken in the show is almost unbearable. Most (mostly all) german sounds like if amercian actors had learned some approximative phrases by heart, without knowing what they are saying.
That makes it sometimes ridiculous, but overall kept my enjoyment still very high. Would have been higher with real german voices.
I know that people who don't understand german wouldn't notice and so will have no impact on them.

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.
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 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 watched season one when it was originally screened and really enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to Season Two.
What a let down this turned out to be !
I gave it half an hour but got fed up with the jumping backwards and forwards in time randomly, but worse still was the reliance on it suddenly being a vehicle for sex scenes every five minutes instead of a decent story ... why does every programme have to go down the route of titillation and soft porn ... if the writers rely on this for their audience to tune in, instead of decent plots then forget about it ... gave up and watched something more entertaining.

The Second Reich was the German Empire from 1871 to 1918, often known as the Kaiserreich. The Third Reich started when the Nazi party seized power in 1933, and lasted until the end of World War II in 1945.
