Hunters is a 2020 television series, created by David Weil, starring {{Creator/Logan Lerman}} and {{Creator/Al Pacino}} and produced/distributed by {{PrimeVideo}}.Amazon Prime.

The show is about the exploits of a group of Nazi hunters in New York City in 1977, headed by Meyer Offerman (Pacino), a wealthy businessman and Holocaust survivor. Lerman stars as Jonah, a young Jewish man who, upon witnessing the murder of his grandmother, is introduced into this world and the role she played in it.

----
!! ''Hunters'' contains examples of:


* DarkAndTroubledPast: Most of the Hunters.
** Ruth lost her parents in the ghetto and her sister in the camps, and as well as enduring the trauma of the camps, she was forced to watch The Wolf torment the man she loved. After the war, she married and had a child, only to lose them both (to the Korean War and childbirth, respectively).
** Meyer not only survived the horrors of the camps, but he was singled out for torment by The Wolf (due to Meyer's love for Ruth), including physical torture and [[spoiler: being forced to kill eleven of his fellow prisoners]]. It is said by Ruth that this act "killed Meyer's soul", and it is [[spoiler: apparently]] the cause of his and Ruth's 30-year estrangement. [[spoiler: The "real" Meyer, that is.]]
** Murray and Mindy, in addition to their imprisonment and separation, were forced to watch as [[spoiler: their young son was killed by an SS officer.]]
** Joe served three tours in Vietnam and as such, deals with a great deal of trauma and PTSD. In addition to that, due to his age and ethnicity, it is more than likely that he was imprisoned in a Japanese internment camp during the war.
** Harriet was a Jewish child sent to England on the Kindertransport and subsequently raised in a Catholic orphanage, where she was forced to assimilate and punished if she did not use her assigned Christian name.
* KarmaHoudini: The various Nazis who escaped to America after the war, [[spoiler: or in some cases, were permitted in by the American government. Hitler and Eva Braun are revealed to be this as well in the first season finale.]]
** KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Delivering vengeance to the aforementioned Nazis is the general mission of the Hunters and the general premise of the show.
** WhamShot: The reveal of [[spoiler: an aged Hitler, still alive and living in South America.]] in the first season finale.
