This article contains spoilers for Hunters season 2.
Hunters is not a particularly good TV show. Just as was the case with the first season of Amazon’s Nazi-hunting drama, the problem with Hunters season 2 (which just premiered all eight episodes on Prime Video) lies with its competing mish-mash of tones.
Hunters wants to have its storytelling cake and eat it too by being both a pulpy shoot ’em up thriller and a stoic exploration of Jewish generational trauma. Season 1 took place in 1977 and followed the ascent of Jonah Heidelbaum (played by a pretty great Logan Lerman) as a vengeful Jewish superhero. Following the death of his beloved grandmother, Jonah is recruited by Meyer Offerman (Al Pacino) into his band of “Hunters,” who track down and kill surviving Nazis. And so Jonah and friends do just that with stylistic aplomb.
Maybe there is a version of Hunters out in the multiverse...
