Niger's security situation has worsened in recent months, with an increase in attacks by Islamist groups since a military junta ousted its president last July. The hunters' plight is just one of myriad ways the long-running conflict has hurt the region's communities.

The show about a group of assassins who are hunting down Nazis reunite for more action. According to Prime Video, the season takes place after an accident derails the Hunters’ exploits in Europe, and they “must band back together to hunt down history’s most infamous Nazi, Adolf Hitler, who’s hiding in South America.” It will also look to the past to see Pacino’s Meyer Offerman encounter “a dangerous threat that could unravel his secret and expose his true identity, with explosive reverberations for our Hunters.”

'Hunters' renewed for season 2 at Amazon

Is it fair to say that the world has obsessed over the history of the Holocaust, Nazis and World War II in general since the time we had access to information? Amazon Prime’s newly launched show ‘Hunters’ delves into that past, reimagines the 1970s in context to America and the reported influx of Nazis into the territory and exaggerates a hunt that Jewish survivors may or may not have persuaded to avenge the death of loved ones or personal torture.&nbsp;

The show ‘Hunters’ is about a band of Nazi hunters led by Al Pacino’s character Meyer Offerman who is a stylised Jewish businessman running covert operations with fellow Holocaust survivors to track and kill in a setup that is intriguing in bits and theatrical in others. Al Pacino lights up the screen every time he makes an appearance. Even the other hunter gang is good in their roles but they miss a rounded and fully developed characterisation for the show.&nbsp;

Divided into ten parts, the show has a lot of pop culture references and an old Hollywood glamour feel but it’s slow and tediously long. All episodes run for more than an hour as it feeds into the frenzy of revenge and tit-for-tat melodrama. It would make you wonder at times if it’s the right approach but then it’s different for people who suffer and survive a genocide after all.&nbsp;

‘Hunters’ ranks in its effort to bring to light a different narrative around the topic of Holocaust and what ensued post the horrors including an esoteric idea of creating a Fourth Reich in the US, white supremacism and more but the over-the-top fictionalisation could look disturbing to those who survived the genocide like the human chess matches and deadly singing competitions at extermination camps in Nazi Germany.&nbsp;

Despite its thematic flaws, the show is an absolute must-watch as it’s timely and proves to us why humans&nbsp;must learn from their mistakes in the past and do better for the newer generations to come. Never again!

'Hunters' review: Al Pacino's web show has its flaws but it's a must watch

The Auschwitz Memorial criticised Amazon on Sunday for fictitious depictions of the Holocaust in its Prime series "Hunters" and for selling books of Nazi propaganda.

Seventy-five years after the liberation of the Nazi German Auschwitz death camp by Soviet troops, world leaders and activists have called for action against rising anti-Semitism.

"Hunters", released on Friday and starring Al Pacino, features a team of Nazi hunters in 1970s New York who discover that hundreds of escaped Nazis are living in the United States.

However, the series has faced accusations of bad taste, particularly for depicting fictional atrocities in Nazi death camps, such as a game of human chess in which people are killed when a piece is taken.

"Inventing a fake game of human chess for @huntersonprime is not only dangerous foolishness &amp; caricature. It also welcomes future deniers," the Auschwitz Memorial tweeted.

"We honor the victims by preserving factual accuracy."

The Auschwitz Memorial is responsible for preserving the Nazi German death camp in southern Poland, where more than 1.1 million people, most of them Jews, perished in gas chambers or from starvation, cold and disease.

The Memorial also criticised Amazon for selling anti-Semitic books.

On Friday, the Memorial retweeted a letter from the Holocaust Educational Trust to Amazon asking that anti-Semitic children's books by Nazi Julius Streicher, who was executed for crimes against humanity, be removed from sale.

"When you decide to make a profit on selling vicious antisemitic Nazi propaganda published without any critical comment or context, you need to remember that those words led not only to the #Holocaust but also many other hate crimes," the Auschwitz Memorial tweeted on Sunday.

"As a bookseller, we are mindful of book censorship throughout history, and we do not take this lightly. We believe that providing access to written speech is important, including books that some may find objectionable," an Amazon spokesman said in a comment emailed to Reuters. Amazon said it would comment on "Hunters" later.

In December, Amazon withdrew from sale products decorated with images of Auschwitz, including Christmas decorations, after the Memorial complained.

Separately, prosecutors launched an investigation into a primary school in the town of Labunie, which staged a reenactment of Auschwitz with children dressed as prisoners being gassed, local media reported.

The school is accused of promoting fascism in the performance in December. It could not immediately be reached for comment.

Amazon in Holocaust row about 'Hunters' series, anti-Semitic books

In a screen career spanning more than five decades, it has taken Al Pacino until now to act in a television series.

He is starring in "Hunters", a new show for Amazon Prime that is due to be released on Friday. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/here-is-everything-you-need-to-know-about-upcoming-al-pacino-starrer-hunters-281147">Also read:&nbsp;Here is everything you need to know about upcoming Al Pacino-starrer 'Hunters'</a>

The series, about a band of Nazi hunters in New York in the 1970s, is inspired by a true story - a "love letter" to the show creator's late grandmother who survived Holocaust.

"I never did this sort of long 10 episodes. So it's like doing like, I think, about a 12-hour film because it is about 12 hours of film," Pacino, who turns 80 in April, told Reuters.

"This is a crazy story, too, by the way ... Crazy horror, really scary stuff. And also heavy, deep, tragic emotion ... it runs the gamut," said Pacino, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at this month's Academy Awards for his role in "The Irishman".

Show creator David Weil said he wanted to tell his grandmother's story, the experiences during the war that she had told him about as a child.

"At such a young age, they felt like the stuff of comic books and superheroes," he said.

"The onus is now on us, on the next generation, to continue their story and further their story. And so 'Hunters' is really a love letter to her.

"It's this desire to propel her story forward into this next generation and to educate people on what the Holocaust is and what people went through so that we can try and prevent this from ever happening again."

Al Pacino turns Nazi hunter in TV series debut for Amazon

'Hunters', created by David Weil, will premiere exclusively February 21, 2020, on Amazon Prime Video. It is executive produced by Academy Award-winner Jordan Peele and led by legendary Academy Award-winner Al Pacino and Logan Lerman.&nbsp;

The web-series follow a diverse band of Nazi hunters living in 1977 New York City as they discover&nbsp;that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials are living among them&nbsp;and are conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the United States. The eclectic team is to set out on a bloody quest to bring the Nazis to justice and thwart their new genocidal plans.&nbsp;

The series&nbsp;stars Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Tiffany Boone, Greg Austin, Louis Ozawa, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, Dylan Baker and Lena Olin and is produced by Jordan Peele

Set in the 70’s New York City, it is a story based on real-life events. It’s not just the plot that’s got everyone waiting with&nbsp;bated breath for the release on&nbsp;February 21st, but also with this Nazi-killing group being headed by none other than Al Pacino. We can’t wait to see how the events unfold as they deal with hundreds of senior Nazi officials, living undercover in the US, who are trying to create a Fourth Reich.

Over 10 intriguing episodes, here’s a cast and premise that’s going to stay in your mind for a very long time.&nbsp;

And if you aren’t hyped up, here are five reasons why 'Hunters' is an upcoming show not to be missed:

1) From films to a web-series, get ready for Al Pacino's maiden bow

We just can’t get enough of this legend now, can we? It was only just a few months ago that fans were in awe of his performance in 'Irishman' that got him his first Oscar nomination in 27 years.&nbsp;

Embracing a completely new medium of storytelling, we now get to see one of our favourite actors for the first time on the digital medium.

Having redefined acting in his 50-year-career, we see Pacino playing the character of Meyer Offerman, the head of a Nazi-hunting group. Now, this is a man who’s known to be a Godfather and a bad guy whose wrong side you certainly don’t want to get on. This binge session of yours is going to be different as when Al Pacino comes on screen, you’re glued to the screen like anything.

2) The killer duo of Al Pacino-Jordan Peele working together for the first time&nbsp;

While Al Pacino is in a league of his own, executive producer of the series, Jordan Peele,&nbsp;is not a lightweight. Having made the audiences grip onto the edges of their seats with 'Keanu', 'Get Out'&nbsp;and 'Us', Peele has brought a new definition of thriller on the table. We can only imagine the events on set as these two brought their A-game to the party. If the first times are so good, we surely hope for more collaborations in the future.

3) Based on the true-life events of 'Operation Paperclip'

The trailer states that the series was “inspired by true events” and a frontrunner amongst them would be ‘Operation Paperclip’. The late 40s and entire 50s witnessed an influx of Germans in America, many of whom were former members and leaders of the Nazi Party. Audiences are set to get an insight into what this secret program by the Joint Intelligence Objective Agency was all about. With this anti-Nazi group getting the perfect reason to take matters into their own hands, lines between what’s right and wrong are sure going to get blurry.

4) &nbsp;Set in the raw and gritty New York of the 70s

The aftermath of World War II saw many Nazis moving to NYC. This saw America get all the ammunition they needed during the Cold War as many Germans were now inducted as spies and informants. But it’s hard to be away from the prying eyes of Nazi-hating individuals. That’s when hunting season begins as groups start being formed and hit-lists being made. One might think that the war was only over, but perhaps it was only just beginning. Could we have asked for a show with a better premise? We think not.

5) An ensemble cast that packs a punch with their diversity &nbsp;

While Al Pacino helms as the ring-leader of the Nazi-hunting group, what makes it a riveting watch is its stellar ensemble cast. There’s Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson series, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Fury), who plays Jonah Heidelbaum, the grandson of a Holocaust survivor along with Kate Mulvany (The Great Gatsby), Tiffany Boone, Carol Kane (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Taxi), Saul Rubinek, and Josh Radnor (How I met your mother) as their fellow Nazi hunters as well as Jerrika Hinton (Grey’s Anatomy) as an FBI agent.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The group’s brimming with talent and expertise in the form of a conniving spy, a former soldier who shoots at sight, a lock-picker, a master of disguise and lastly, two weapon experts who provide the much-needed arsenal. It’s diversity at its finest as each of these stars, with their different roles in the series, tells you that this is such a well-assembled group that you certainly do not want to mess with. makes this a group that you.

There’s Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson series, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Fury), who plays Jonah Heidelbaum, the grandson of a Holocaust survivor along with Kate Mulvany (The Great Gatsby), Tiffany Boone, Carol Kane (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Taxi), Saul Rubinek, and Josh Radnor (How I met your mother) as their fellow Nazi hunters as well as Jerrika Hinton (Grey’s Anatomy) as an FBI agent.
