Hunters
Episode 1: In The Belly of The Whale
Every
review will be full of spoilers. I did not plan on watching this show
really. I had added it to my watch list and it kinda sat there. I
wasn't sure if I would have any interest in watching a show about
people hunting Nazis starring Al Pacino. As honestly it took a little
bit into the first episode to keep me watching even after Miss Jackie
suggested I give it a try. While I enjoyed the first episode this is
not one of those shows I will plow through in a week even though
every episode is available to watch right now on Amazon. I also
suggest having captions on because like most streaming shows the
sound is not that good. This starts off with this nice ass looking
barbecue at this dude Biff Simpson's place in 1977. One of his new
associates shows up and she sees Biff and starts flipping the fuck
out. At first I thought she had too many disco biscuits. Her husband
is not sure what's going on as she keeps calling him a butcher and a
Nazi. He reaches under the grill and starts blasting folks.
He
shoots his guests. He shoots his wife. He shoots his kids. He says to
the lady (who has exactly the kinda face that is my jam!) that he has
spent the last thirty years building this life and that the time is
now and the Nazis are everywhere. Then he shoots her. This dude named
Travis shows up and he is the cleanup man. If you are rich and
powerful enough to shoot a houseful of people you have to know q
cleanup man. He gets out his rubber gloves and has to shoot Biff to
make it look like an attempt on his life was made and he survived.
Meanwhile in Brooklyn this kid named Jonah is hanging with his two
friends slanging weed. I had to get over that kids bad afro and his
other friend that looks 30 years old. He gets his ass kicked selling
weed to a racist dude.
He
heads home to his grandmother and she talks about how smart he is and
then discovers that he is a drug dealer. Later that night he hears
her talking to someone downstairs and she gets shot. This guy Meyer
Offerman talks to him after he flips his shit after the funeral. He
tells him to call him if he ever needs anything. Jonah starts looking
into his grandmother's life and finds a gold dagger. He finds this
street gang and tries to get information out of them by giving away
weed when cops swarm in and arrest his dumb ass. Offerman ends up
bailing him out and telling some terrible ass stories from the
Holocaust. After Offerman leaves the room Jonah unlocks a secret room
and sees that Offerman has a bunch of photos and clues as to who
killed his grandmother. He grabs the photo and runs out the house. He
sees a car with a balloon on it just like the one in the photo he
took and decides to confront this old man.
For a
second I for real thought the kid was losing it and about to stab an
innocent old man until you see that he has an X mark on his throat
like the man in the story Offerman told him who would make people
play real life chess and kill one another at the concentration camps.
This boy has zero fighting ability and is overpowered by the old man
and ends up tied to a chair with darts being thrown at him. He breaks
free and stabs the guy with a dart in the eye and when he is about to
get his non-fighting ass killed suddenly Offerman stabs the Nazi dude
in the throat killing him letting him know as he is dying who he is
avenging. He takes Jonah to his place and introduces him to his team
of hunters and you see that they have been following Jonah around the
city since the start of the episode since his grandmother was killed.
There
is a backstory with an FBI agent named Millie Morris that is
investigating the death of this old lady who was showering butt booty
ass naked (naturally) when the water turns into yellow gas killing
her. The guy who was in her place is that Travis guy I believe. She
heads to NASA where the old woman used to work and is blown off but
one guy tells her to watch her back. She later finds a picture of Hitler straight up chilling with the old woman. I think it was her.
Still not sure. Leave me alone. Its the first episode.
Travis
heads to a bowling alley to threaten a congressman. The guy starts
acting all tough until Travis knocks one guy out with a bowling ball
and cracks the teeth of another and lets him know that he has spoken
to his son and knows everything about him. He later meets with a
powerful Nazi woman who says that their plans are coming along nicely
as they both stare into the sky wallowing in their racistness. Like
legit staring into the sky with tears building in their eyes. This
was a really good start and I'll be checking out more episodes in a
couple days. Again, not gonna binge watch this like other shows. Fuck
around and run out of things to watch. Why you think I haven't posted
anything in a week and a half?
