Watch This Week:
Hunters S2
My weekly TV and streaming roundup on idobi.com included Hunters—the first season polarised audiences and opened up some difficult conversations about revenge fantasy based on historic events. Viewers were interested to see how—or if—the show would adapt to its criticisms in season two.
Hunters S2 opens with an incredibly intense scene that will immediately remind you of why this show polarized so many viewers. It is also returning at a time when the conversation about the continued rise of anti-Semitism is at the forefront. And based on the shocking revelations at the end of S1, the new season has plenty of twisted storylines to explore that won’t always sit right with you—this show is designed to make you feel sickened and uncomfortable while it examines the depths of the human survival instinct and exacts gripping revenge fantasies. It shows the hunters dealing with the mental, emotional, and physical toll of what they do and the betrayals they face around every corner. And S2 takes you on an even wilder and hyper-violent journey that is destined to get everyone talking—for better or for worse.
