Hunters
Episode 3: While Visions of Safta Danced in His Head
Time
for another review of Hunters on Amazon. I was trying to describe the
pacing of this show to a friend and had trouble before realizing that
it has something to do with the information dumps. Each episode flies by for
being an hour long but the parts that I don't enjoy seem to make the
show fully stop. They are important parts I guess but since I don't
like certain characters it drags and then the last ten minutes so much happens. Thankfully a character I couldn't stand ends up dead.
This starts with Jonah not handling the death of that Nazi dude well
and going thorough some old letters that belonged to his grandmother.
In one he finds out that Offerman is the one that gave her a number
tattoo in Auschwitz. He is later told a story about how well known
his grandmother was in the camps for her bravery. It was a cool story
but having his friend Bootyhole there felt out of place to me and had
me suspicious.
The
older couple is decoding the tapes found at the Nazi studio and after
some bickering accidentally discover that there is Morse code being
used and that corresponds with tragic events and assassinations.
Their part of the story was such an information dump. Jonah comes and
visits them and they remind him he is like his grandmother. Other
members of the team are staking out the Nazi studio and movement is
spotted. The lady ends up battling a Nazi ninja woman after they see
that the entire studio is cleaned as if there had not been a murder
and damage done. The Nazi woman is killed with a stick through the
throat. Also the nun member of the team is a traitor for some reason.
(shrugs) I don't know.
Travis
is walking around being creepy stalking the FBI lady and sees she has
a girlfriend. FBI lady is putting the pieces together regarding old
Nazis being killed. Biff, the guy that shot his family at the
barbecue, feels useless because he is just sitting at home healing.
His dead wife's mother shows up to support him. At the Nazi
headquarters one of the guys is upset because his sister has not
returned. She was the Nazi ninja. Offerman visits Jonah at work and
Jonah lets Offerman know that this is not the life for him. He and
Bootyhole and Cheeks (I fucking hate these names) head to Coney
Island to get high and have a boring ass conversation and a dance
scene happens and as much as I love the weird shit in the show this
felt strange and forced. And that kids afro looks way worse in the
sun. Jonah starts seeing more visions of a young version of his
grandmother.
Travis
disguised as a cop finds Jonah's name in a jacket he left at the toy
store Nazis place. Why in the fuck did he leave his jacket anyway?!
Travis heads to his home and then his job. Meanwhile Jonah is talking
to this girl I guess he had a thing for. This scene was a good
example of the writing of this show. Starting to realize that too
many characters talk the same and are just not that interesting when
in small groups. If there are three or less people talking it is
pretty dull. They leave and head to Jonah's job where Bootyhole is
at. Travis asks if Boootyhole knows Jonah and he says he is Jonah by
using a bunch of Jewish stereotypes which made zero sense. He stabs
Travis' hand and gets two bullets in the back. Jonah arrives and
finds him dead. Yay! No more Bootyhole!
I left
out so much stuff. There is just way too much information that gets
dropped at once. I like this show but I am starting to not like it as
much. I absolutely do not like Jonah's and his friends. They are so
boring. Offerman is starting to feel like a bit player even though he
is the leader of the team. They are shoehorning this relationship
with two members of the team. The actor dude on the team, I'm not
fucking sure what he even does. The only members that have made any
progress are the old couple and the nun who is a traitor. This is ten
episodes. They have one more to hook me or I'm tapping out.
