Hunters: Season 1 episodes

Episode 1

In the summer of 1977, Jonah Heidelbaum's grandmother (a holocaust... More survivor) is murdered in her own living room. In an attempt to find her killer, Jonah is approached by Meyer Offerman, an old friend of his grandmother's, who reveals to Jonah that America has been infiltrated at all levels by renegade Nazis and it was they who were responsible for her death. Once the truth is revealed to him (as well as some surprising facts about his grandmother's life), Jonah is recruited into a secret organization determined to root out the Nazi infiltrators wherever they are.

The Mourner's Kaddish

And on the second day, God created The Hunters, who... More at the behest of Meyer brought Jonah into their tribe. The Hunters were wroth, "Nay!" They cried, "The Hunt is no place for a child!" But Jonah petitioned his worth and uncovered the dark hymns of a new enemy. Following the old woman's death, Millie's light shone forth upon sinister truths while a Great Evil conspired to keep them in the shadows.

While Visions of Safta Danced in His Head

And when Millie pursued justice, so the envoys of Evil... More pursued Millie. Meyer appealed to Jonah, whose faith was strained by the trials of The Hunt; and Jonah turned to his companions' burning bush and the spectre of his grandmother for counsel. The Hunters toiled to interpret the secret words of a wicked proclamation.

The Pious Thieves

For the love of money is the root of all... More evil. A trail of signs did lead The Hunters unto a merchant's lair, where unearthed remnants of the past echoed evils of the present. Millie's compass delivered her to the House of Offerman, whereupon she encountered Jonah and put a charge unto him: "I beseech thee walk in truth!"

At Night, All Birds Are Black

Meyer imparted unto Jonah a proverb, with which Jonah fortified... More himself. A sharp tongued serpent sought to poison The Hunters' resolve. Evil hath taken root in the land of Alabama, whereupon The Hunters did descend to blot it out. A herald brought unto Millie grim tidings of Evil spread throughout the land.

Ruth 1:16

Hark! A wedding song rang out to unite The Hunters... More in a time of discord. "The Hunt is not only about death," Meyer cried unto Jonah, "It is about life!" But their mirth was tempered by an untimely strike and suspicions of a Judas among them. Seeking the origins of Evil, Millie offered up a sacrifice.

Shalom Motherf***er

But lo! The date foretold by evil prophecy came upon... More them. The Hunters were tormented by wicked ghosts of times past as the day waned and Darkness prepared to strike. Millie forsaketh the means of justice to hasten the path toward judgment.

The Jewish Question

And there was a thick darkness in all the land.... More As The Hunters wallowed in the valley of the shadow of death, they turned to the stars to point them on their path. Still, darkness trespassed upon the heart of Jonah, which did tempt him toward sin; and the shepherd Meyer petitioned Millie to join their flock.

The Great Ole Nazi Cookout of '77

As a terrible plague loomed over the land and did... More portend to devour its people, The Hunters waged a great battle to prevent it. Upon the threshold of righteousness, Millie endured a loathsome betrayal and sought to deliver Jonah from vengeance and corruption.

Eilu v' Eilu

Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back... More from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.

"Logan Lerman is the show's actual lead, and holds his own against his older co-stars. Still, the degree to which any of this cartoonish mayhem feels real is largely a credit to the gravity Pacino provides in certain moments."

Rolling Stone

"There's a lot of discomfort to Hunters, as it goes from action scenes so alive and full of verve that they can only be classified as "fun" to a nightmarish Holocaust sequence. That discomfort is intentional, but it isn't always illuminating."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"Its nastiness, even as deployed against the world's worst people, fugitives from justice, somehow comes to feel more like abuse of the audience."

—

Variety

"It never quite gets the blend of dramatic intensity, comic-book embroidery and cathartic action that it seems to be going for. "Hunters," like the hunters team itself, is less than the sum of its parts."

—

The New York Times

"Hunters' part-pulp sensibility frequently veers into hamminess - and that's on top of the discomfort arising from taking this approach to a historical trauma the size, weight and fathomless depth of the Holocaust."

—

The Guardian

"Everything about this series says superhero movie, from its popping bright colours to its improbably high body count. Like most superhero films, it feels heavily stylised without being remotely nice to look at."

—

The Times

"It powerfully brings home not only what Jewish people have suffered, but what they, and other minorities in the West, could suffer again."

—

BBC

"A bold attempt to honor the victims without being bound by factual accuracy, so as to bring the past to life for a generation that might otherwise be inured to it. It's a risky game, fraught with contradictions. But it makes Hunters a fascinating watch."

—

The Age

"Directed with some stylistic flamboyance by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, his cameras in the hands of veteran cinematographer Frederick Elmes rarely still, and he hits perfect pitch at the story's crucial turning points with his unusual angles and surprising moves"
