Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When you take the very serious tragedies of the holocaust and add juvenile dark comedy, stylized violence, comic book revenge fantasy, and politically correct virtue-signaling, you end up stirring viewer emotions all over the place. That is not a good thing. What you are left with is something not of beauty, but of questionable worth or merit beyond just violent "entertainment" while it deems to be - and arguably should be - something better. "Hunters" is loosely based on an event from 1946 when President Truman took in over 1,600 former Nazi operatives after WWII.  This was referred to as Operation Paperclip.  The idea was to prevent the Russians from taking the operatives in.  The Russians nonetheless took in over 2,200 of them. However, while some of the Nazi operatives were eventually convicted of war crimes, it was never asserted that they had formed a secret society with plans to launch a covert attack against the U.S.   "Hunters" imagines that they did, and that it is up to an underground group of vigilantes to both stop the plot as well as seek revenge for what were clearly atrocious and depraved war crimes.  The main problem with Hunters is how it jarringly switches back and forth from serious human tragedy to FBI drama to dark comedy with juvenile sex jokes to over-the-top violent comic book fantasy. It's like a mash-up of Schindler's List, Criminal Minds and Leverage written and directed by an odd team-up of Quentin Tarantino, Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen. The flashbacks to the Nazi camps are unrelentingly cruel, but they also emphasize the theme of the human capacity for survival against incredible evil.   However the rest of the situations and dialog largely range from tedious and drawn out to over the top, dumb, and/or unbelievable.  There is a lot of profanity, some nudity, some kinky sex, as well as the usual cast of politically correct tropes and virtue-signaling thrown in for good measure.  The violence when it appears - either visually or in narrated form - is brutal, sadistic, and relentlessly cruel.  Most of the characters (especially the villains) are thinly drawn, black or white, good or evil.  All is used to advance what Al Pacino's character states late in the 1st episode - that hunting these war criminals is the title group's "mitzvah," their moral imperative - since in their eyes, both God and the world do not seem to be doing it for them.   If you want to enter this universe of jarring tonal shifts, largely uninteresting characters, tedious comic book dialog and situations as well as nerve-wracking violence and incredibly inhuman cruelty, then you may want to give this series a try.  Otherwise, I would look for something a bit more tonally consistent and perhaps more uplifting. Or at least something more honest in it's approach.
