Let me start by saying this can be a very hard film to watch for some. However Hunters is a great piece of historical fiction centered around the very real Holocaust, and Operation Paperclip.

The commercials caught my attention, however I was hooked once I watched the first episode……kept my attention the whole time. I was so intrigued that I binged the entire series 1 in one sitting (you can do these kinds of things when your retired :))

I’m always looking for different, unique, dark yet smart films that keeps you on your toes...Hunters has all of that and more!. The cast ensemble is great. Things that take my mind out of reality and are far fetched keep my interest, this series definitely is one to watch in my opinion.

If you are easily offended or take shows too serious, you may want to rethink watching this series. But if you want pure entertainment, this series has it nd worth the time spent to see series 1. Can’t wait for Series 2!
