The problem here is one of abundance. Hunters is simply trying to do too many things at once with its premise...
February 19, 2020
The show often doesn't seem aware of what it wants to be. It might be campy, pulpy, even absurdist at times, while taking a misaimed stab at drama at others, and being nauseatingly violent throughout.

"Hunters" lives in a state of emergency, which necessitates action more than it mirrors reality. It's an effective, fictionalized premise, but one that's also dependent on the viewer being able to enjoy a particularly harsh blend of fact and fiction.

Jonah is essentially Luke Skywalker and Meyer is Obi Wan; the neo-Nazi is Kylo Ren. The proposed Fourth Reich is the First Order, and Hunters is, regardless of its iffy ethics, Star Wars with the SS.

There's much that's compelling about this buoyant and ambitious series, not least its detailed picture of the Nazi-hunting team pursuing leads.
February 20, 2020
It's a fast, frenetic show that's all over the place - emotionally, violently and conspiratorially. Its darkly humorous bent competes with its righteous sincerity.
February 19, 2020
At times, it embraces its B-movie style, making for a show that can be very clever and fun, but it's also exhausting, occasionally aggressive in its toxicity.
February 20, 2020
Hunters is such an enticing premise as to overcome its execution problems, at least for a while. But the tone of this Amazon series varies wildly, leaving behind a show that isn't bad, but which really should be a whole lot better.

Weirdly, it works.

For all the tonal and structural faults of Hunters, I couldn't stop watching.
February 20, 2020
[T]he show is audacious, tonally complex, not always in control of its message, visually arresting, and, particularly in its grim flashbacks to the brutalities and the courage in the death camps, moving.
February 20, 2020
In a weird way, Hunters feels like an unintentional echo of HBO's Watchmen -- It remains to be seen if Hunters will capture the same kind of heartbreaking nuance and current relevance as that series did last fall.
