    Good shit. Better then the trailer below. Nazi's and Nazi hunters in 1970's America. Not completely serious or realistic if that's what you're looking for. A bit comic booky with a Guy Ritchie / Matthew Vaughn / Edgar Wright type vibe to it.

    Fun enough series with a few decent dramatic moments in it to. Pacino is surprisingly entertaining, while some of the better performances actually come from the actors playing Nazi's, like Dylan Baker, Lena Olin and the kid playing the younger American Hitler fan.

    Some weaker acting links among the Nazi Hunters, including the main kid (who also kind of wrecked the movie "Fury"), with the best bits actually coming from older character actors Saul Rubinek and Carol Kane.

    8/10

    That's enough of an advertisement not to even watch episode 1.

    Haven't seen any reviews on it. I was a bit hesitant myself because the trailer looked kind of hokey. Took a couple episodes to really get going, but I found it entertaining. It's somewhat campy, fictionalized, stylized history. Don't go into it expecting to see "Munich".

    The aesthetic reminds me of the three directors I mentioned above, at any given time. I guess, think "Baby Driver", but instead of a heist movie, they're hunting Nazi's in 1970's America, with a little bit of "Kingsman", and a little bit of "Snatch" thrown in for good measure.

    It's far from perfect, but good enough for me not to bitch about it.

    Oh, just shut your silly mouth. Still upset I tricked you into watching 10+ seasons of "The Big Bang Theory", just because I convinced you there would be a gas chamber scene at the end?

    Was that series actually any good?
    Or just something that nerds got into?

    No, it sucked hard.

    Calling it for "nerds", is a huge disservice to nerds in general. I'd guess most actual "nerds", hate this show.

    Typical CBS safe, mindless, broad comedy bullshit.
