Hunters




 I think besides the Mandalorian that Hunters is my favorite series of the year. One part Martin Scorsese, one part Quentin Tarantino, one part 70s men on a mission TV series. The 70s setting fits perfect along I'm Dying Up Here and Vinyl which also oozed Scorsese touches. The exploitation elements and 70s sitcom and commercial moments felt like pure QT. A Nazi hunting show with a musical number and fake trailers? This show is a gift! Even though the pilot is 90 minutes(the rest are hour long) they all fly by, and each episode feels important with hardly any padding. Witty, violent and full of dark humor, the show has a message that resonates today. Sure there might be some errors here or there but the plot and cast makes you forget em, after all it is quasi exploitation. The entire cast is excellent but i think Josh Radnor steals the show. I wish i had watched it when it first started but now i am stoked for season 2!
