That chess scene was ridiculous. Like there's no reason to make up something absurd like that considering all the actual things Nazis did. 2/24/2020 1:12:38 PM |

i guess they did that because chess is something they reference often, both in dialogue and in the intro.
but yeah, i mostly agree with the criticism they're getting.
Here is the show's response
Quote : | "David Weil, creator and executive producer of "Hunters," said it was an intentional choice to portray a fictionalized view of Auschwitz. "While Hunters is a dramatic narrative series, with largely fictional characters, it is inspired by true events," Weil said in a statement. "But it is not documentary. And it was never purported to be. In creating this series it was most important for me to consider what I believe to be the ultimate question and challenge of telling a story about the Holocaust: How do I do so without borrowing from a real person's specific life or experience?" Weil, who said his grandmother was a prisoner at Auschwitz, said he created the fictional human chess event because he "simply did not want to depict ... specific, real acts of trauma."" |

SPOILER ALERT
just want to say that the twist was not a surprise to me. I figured it out as soon as they showed Grandma meeting Pacino and saying he looked different. I already thought it odd that all the Jewish characters were played by Jewish across except for the main one, and it all clicked at that point. 3/10/2020 2:14:01 PM |

On the second episode. I found the first kinda hard to get into - didn't pull me in like some pilots, but I'm sticking with it. 3/17/2020 6:54:24 PM |

I was really enjoying this until the end and then it kind of went off the rails imo. It could have been great on it’s own, no need for silly twists. 3/19/2020 5:37:57 AM |

I don't think the twist was silly. It was much less silly than the human chess game. 3/19/2020 2:26:18 PM |
