5/12/2020 0 Comments why i put this show on hiatusJust so we're clear, i don't think its actually on a production hiatus But considering COVID-19, they maybe on production hiatus. I don't know. I don't work for them.
I just decided that I needed to think about this show before continuing. Hunters is apparently based on a true story or maybe just inspired by true events. Which, I have not looked into yet, but why would Amazon lie? But I wonder if they mean true events that happened during The Holocaust? Or were there a group of vigilantes running around New York killing Nazis in the 70s? Or both? I think the vigilantes killing Nazis is the fictional aspect of this story. It's a good fictional aspect, cause who wouldn't want to punch a Nazi in the face? (Please don't answer that...) But my problem is, does violence beget violence? Is violence really the answer? I know the old saying, "an eye for an eye", but is that the best solution? I don't want anybody to think that I am trying to lessen the horrors that Jewish people suffered through. No, I am not. It was beyond horrible. It was what true evil is and does. No amount of apologies will ever fix what happened. Ever. This show is about getting revenge. Plain and simple. The issue I have with this show isn’t the fact that the characters are getting revenge, but the fact that its a violent revenge. I watch violent shows constantly, and I don’t have a problem with fictional characters getting revenge over fictional slights. Maybe it is because the “slight” in this case, is far from fictional. I don’t know if blood for blood is the best solution or if showing that the Jewish people are stronger and more resilient than their haters is the best solution. I just don’t know. I don’t think anybody knows for sure, but there is one thing that is certain… Never let the world forget. Another thing that I can’t seem to get past is, what if this was about slavery? What if it was black people getting payback for the horrors of slavery? Would this show have been made? I know there’s Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, but I don’t know. This seems different. This seems more “real”. While I’m trying to wrap my head around the concepts of Hunters, I decided to put it on hiatus. I hope I can finish it, but I don’t know. I will say this though, the acting is really really fantastic!!! Like seriously, if you don’t have all these moral issues like I do, please watch these actors and actresses fucking shine!
