Three decades after World War II, Nazis remain an urgent threat to America in Hunters, Amazon’s new 10-part series about…
, in a wonderfully badass role — determined to find and eliminate Hitler acolytes secretly operating amongst us.
In Cape Canaveral, Fla., NASA chemist Gretel Fischer has her apartment’s plumbing fixed. Upon taking a shower, she winds up locked inside, deadly gas steaming out of her showerhead. Tough, no-nonsense FBI agent Millie Morris is assigned to investigate this murder by her New York boss Chief Grimsby . Millie deduces that the woman was gassed, but is lied to and stonewalled by Gretel’s chauvinistic, racist NASA bosses.
Meyer admits to Jonah that the Talmud was wrong: “You know what the best revenge is? Revenge.” Then he proclaims, “We have trials ahead. A growing list of vermin. So let us get to cooking these Nazi c—-.”Establishing the show’s aesthetic template, director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon employs twisting, rotating camerawork — and compositions marked by diagonal lines and canted angles — to suggest a comic book-y world thrown off its axis.as a means of threatening a target.
Millie shows detective Sommers the photograph of Gretel with Hitler. Meanwhile, Biff goes on TV and cries crocodile tears about his dearly departed family. In two separate homes, a woman and a man hear the German lullaby; she writes down details about a bomb explosion, while he marks a lower-Manhattan spot on a map and writes the date “July 13.
A brief interlude finds Lonny and an adolescent African-American girl explaining “how to find a Nazi.” While that sequence treats Nazi detection as a joke, the following scene — involving German women prepping bombs in an underground facility — indicates these adversaries are no laughing matter. Travis rebuffs Biff’s attempt to form a partnership. The Colonel also doesn’t trust Biff, but she does trust Travis, unlike her German minion Tobias .
Refusing to shy away from the Holocaust, young Ruth’s Auschwitz ordeal is rendered in harrowing, heartbreaking fashion. Surveilling the bank, Harriet tells Jonah a story about his grandmother Ruth. At Auschwitz, Ruth turned down a secretary job from a Nazi doctor known as “The Wolf” , who fell for her after she saved Levi’s wife. By refusing this post, Ruth put Meyer in jeopardy, since the Wolf knew they had feelings for each other. Harriet won’t reveal what the Wolf did to Meyer, but Ruth’s guilt over having brought some horror upon Meyer is why the Wolf was No. 1 onMillie visits Jonah at Meyer’s home.
In the secret room, Jonah deduces one wall is fake, and behind it they discover a hatch that leads to a basement filled with Jewish fortunes stolen by the Nazis. Millie takes photos of this plundered collection of jewelry, fine china, paintings, and glassware, and Jonah takes the ring that once belonged to Jakob.
Joe trains Jonah in combat. To underline why such skills are necessary, their sparring is intercut with Meyer telling Jonah about the Holocaust torture he suffered at the hands of the Wolf — including a claw scar down his chest — and the stamina it took to endure it. Meyer regrets not seizing his one chance to kill the Wolf and says he’ll hold Jonah to his promise not to hesitate.
