That chess scene was ridiculous. Like there's no reason to make up something absurd like that considering all the actual things Nazis did.

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.

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.

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.

I don't think the twist was silly. It was much less silly than the human chess game.
