Review of Prime Video’s Hunters:

Ever want to see acting veteran Al Pacino lead a group of justice-seekers going around the US slaughtering Nazis, well here’s your chance with Prime Video’s terrific new show Hunters. What it’s about is a wealthy man named Meyer Offerman (Pacino) who survived the Holocaust brings together a group of “Nazi hunters” to hunt down and kill any remaining Nazis in ‘70’s America. However, when Jonah’s (Logan Lerman) Safta is murdered, he is also recruited to the team to solve a massive conspiracy theory. The cast, headlined by Pacino, is excellent, with Lerman also shining as the code-breaking teenager Jonah. The first seven episodes or so were pretty much pitch-perfect, and despite slowing down a little in the eighth and utterly jumping the shark in the ninth, the twists and turns in the finale help the show keep its ground. The episodes are fairly long, especially the pilot, which clocks at about 90 minutes with the rest running at an hour or so—however, no matter what you think of the occasionally absurd turns in the plot, you will be entertained. One thing that could very well be questioned are the fictionalization of many events that occured in the Holocaust, but the show still brings considerable justice to the terrible events. The rest of the crew are also pretty damn epic, including Sister Harriet (Kate Mulvany being awesome), Roxy Jones (Tiffany Boone as one of the best characters in the show), Lonny Flash (a stand-out Josh Radnor), Joe (Louis Ozawa Changchien packing heat) and couple Mindy and Murray (terrific chemistry between Carol Kane and Sal Rubinek). There’s also an FBI agent named Millie on their tale (a stellar Jerrika Hinton) and don’t forget those darn Nazis, played most notably by Greg Austin, Dylan Baker and Lena Olin. Basically, despite trying to make it a large-scale Marvel flick in the penultimate episode, Hunters is exceptionally strong, stylish TV.

Should you Binge, Browse, or Skip?

Hunters may be fiction and lose a little steam towards the end, but this Tarantino-light Nazi-hunting show makes great usage of Al Pacino’s excellent lead performance, stylish direction and a deft blend of humor and horror for a rock-solid, entertaining show

I would say…BINGE IT
