HUNTERS
February 21, 2020  | By David Bianculli

Amazon Prime Video, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
This has never happened before, and it’s not likely to happen ever again. But tonight, the best new hours of scripted television – the Season 1 unveiling of Amazon’s Hunters and the latest episode of NBC’s Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector – all happen to be programs on which my son, Mark Bianculli, happened to work. Hunters, created by David Weil and executive produced by Jordan Peele, stars Al Pacino as a Nazi hunter in 1970s New York. The series has a fabulous cast (Lena Olin, Dylan Baker, Carol Kane, Logan Lerman, and Saul Rubinek, for starters), and a tone that’s unexpectedly varied. Think of it as a sort of Mission: Impossible squad of Nazi hunters, with Pacino as the leader and a bunch of outlandish characters as the mismatched specialist heroes. My son was on the writing staff for this series, in the room where it happened, and I have inside info that he loved the experience. All 10 Season 1 episodes are available today. For full reviews, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes, and David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
