Hunters (2020-)

A young Jew joins a group of extremists who hunt down Nazis in America that hide under new identities.

An entertaining series that uses the style of comic books - so very popular these days - to maintain interest, to insert humor and to build colorful characters. The result is perfectly functional although not evenly uniform and includes an old but not tired Al Pacino who manages to keep himself interesting with a convincing accent, semi-funny lines and a perfectly timed relaxed attitude. And Jerrika Hinton is wonderful in the role of the FBI agent who aims to temper the team.
With antagonists sometimes equally intriguing, the series is far from being boring even if it has not been well received due to the fabrications added to historical events that were meant to reinforce the impression that the actions of the  so-called heroes are perfectly justified.
The end of the first season is quite interesting.
