Starting up a thread...

Watching episode one now...

Well?

It's a 90 min episode! First hour has been good...

Bit of violence to start and shock the viewers...

I liked the first episode. Good pacing, enough action and intrigue. Definitely will watch the second episode tomorrow.

The opening is great
Didn't watch trailers

Episode 1 very good
So far so good

This looks utterly stupid. I could not have less interest in watching it. I'm genuinely curious, hence this post, what other folks see in the trailers that make them interested.

This is an odd take from just the trailers. When I think about the entirety of all I've seen, this would never register as "utterly stupid".

It's a monster hunting show.

Al Pacino hunting and and exacting revenge on Nazis.

What's not to like?

You may be right and it may be a flop but I don't get that sense from the trailers.

Other than not being able to understand much of what Pacino said during the first half of the first episode, it was a great premiere.

Hunting Nazis. That's pretty much the only thing I needed to see in the trailer to convince me to give it a shot.

Did Pacino have a stroke? Can't understand anything he says hardly

Also, the cosmonaut shotgun story/warning was just a great moment.

My family was from pre-Nazi Germany (left lands and titles bc of those *******s) so there's nothing I enjoy more than seeing a good Nazi murdering.

Really enjoyed the first one.
Definite tone change in second episode...maybe I was just tired.
Love the soldier - guy is creepy.
Cosmonaut story and "chess" game were all kinds of fantastic

Enjoyed the first episode but some of it was predictable.

im really enjoying this show so far.

It was brutal. Pacino doing a Jewish accent all while mumbling made it difficult to follow along. He improved towards the end of the first episode and I'm hoping it keeps up.

Outside of that, I enjoyed the first two episodes. It is definitely over the top at times but that is obviously intentional. The creators of the show are clearly using their inner Tarantino for inspiration. My only real complaint, save Pacino's mumbling, is Logan Lerman's character being a bit of a b***h. He needs to man up in a serious way.

Can someone post what happened in the end? I understand the main plot point, but don't understand how they arrived there.

Hilarious because my wife and I always watch with subtitles, so I kept wondering how people didn't understand. Now I realize why..

Got hooked and binged the first 5 episodes. Had to force myself not to keep watching last night.

My wife can't handle it, depictions on how Jews/Catholics/Polish communities were tortured by the Nazi's at the camp were too real for her. She knows that I have over 30 family members that died at the camp and can't emotionally handle it.

it also shines a light on America and how they protected a lot of the evil Nazis so that they wouldn't fall to the Russians. I can see people having issues with that, but sadly very true.


I also really like the comic book undertone it sets up. Can't wait to finish the series later today.

That ending!

I really like this show through three episodes but Lena Olin's character just doesn't work for me. Is she really the top bad guy in the show? She isn't convincing to me as a Nazi and her character isn't menacing in the least. I really hope there is someone else in that Nazi org above "The Colonel". The blonde American Nazi guy is far scarier than the old lady.

Lerner's character in Fury was a complete b*$ch as well, he really needs to play a character with balls in his next role if he doesn't want to get typecast as a poon.

just wait.

this show just gets better and better. pacino as the wolf and then joe having dinner in argentina as hitler sits down were crazy. i am assuming the colonel is eva braun.

overall this show was great and it left it open for an awesome 2nd season.

I don't like to get political, but in a day and age when literally anyone who fails to tow the PC line as advocated by the media is called a Nazi, this seems to be just a normalization of killing white people.

What do I win?

I'm strangely confident I can get you a position as Swordmaster of House Atreides

Watched six episodes yesterday. I'll probably keep going but I'm not sure if I want to. The tone within episodes is all over the map, and it doesn't feel like its working. I also feel like they didn't do a good job of being consistent in setting up or explaining who the Hunters are or some of the people they've hunted. It just doesn't feel like it's in a groove yet and I'm 6.5 hours in. So idk. *shoulder shrug emoji*

That's kind of where I'm at. It couldn't decide if it wanted to go full-Tarantino or full slap-stick and the result was a poor mix of both.

It did make me look up Operation PAPERCLIP for more information and the movie does stick pretty closely to what happened. It also editorializes with 21st century hindsight and impugns America's motives.

At the start/height of the Cold War, we could not afford to cede any advantage to the Soviets and while odious and distasteful to bring in Nazis to work for NASA and other agencies, it did help us to ultimately defeat the Soviets. The implication that all American institutions therefore are rampant with Nazis is just editorializing by the producers.

/rant over

Also if Pacino was the Wolf all along, what happened to the real Meyer Offerman? I might have missed that in the show since I kind of gave up paying real attention.

It's set in the 1970s, so not Trumpers exactly, but short answer: yes.

But that's where the tone of the show is confusing. In some cases it tries to be a very serious drama about actual atrocities in WWII (i.e. the holocaust). And it does that well in some episodes. But in other areas a major theme of the show that the US government has been infiltrated with literal Nazis trying to establish a fourth reich in the US. But does so in a way that I think is trying to be comical? I think it is trying to be like Inglorious Basterds, but it just totally whiffs.

So it tries to be sincere in some areas, but then it not-so-vaguely implies that most of the "establishment" party of the US govt are literal Nazis.
