Maybe it’s because I’m a bit ticked off that I feel like I have to write this. Well yes, actually, it is because I’m a bit ticked off.
I can’t ever remember being so disgusted with a program as I am with The Hunters, a comic bookish kind of 10-part series about a rag-tag group of Nazi hunters that’s streaming on Amazon Prime. I mean, the premise was interesting. The acting was decent (I thought Ted from How I Met Your Mother did a good job). The show held my attention quite well for 9 episodes…and a bit into the 10th too I guess.
But then it went off the rails in such an epic way that it left me angry that I’d wasted the previous 9+ hours of my life getting to that moment in episode 10 when I realized that they’d completely lost their minds and basically self-destructed the whole thing. It was so bad that even the halfway decency of the rest of the show leading up to it can’t save it. I’ve never seen a show that was tossed so quickly into the toilet as this.
Just awful, and if you haven’t seen it, don’t even bother. It was the worst finale of a season ever envisioned. It was so bad it destroyed the entire show. I’m disgusted, and I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it.
