Started out well but ended unwatchable

Hunters is an Amazon Prime series about a group of Jewish holocaust survivors that know former Nazi officers had been extracted right after the Second World War. During the first season we learn about Operation Paperclip where the US government brought over 1,600 German scientists, engineers and high ranking officials to the states rather than being captured by the Russians. Set during the 70's New York City, a team led by Al Pacino, Logan Lerman, Josh Radnor, Carol Kane, Tiffany Boone, Louis Ozawa, and Saul Rubinek search and hunt down Nazis to make them pay for what they did to their own people. Wish sometimes the same would have been done to the Turks who killed 1.5 million Armenians. Dylan Baker acted as Secretary of the State but we learn he was a former Nazi officer. The group learned the Fourth Reich led by Hitler's wife, Eva who was played by Lena Olin, had planned to poison the American people with a non sugar substitute in our food chain. Greg Austin acted as a one man army to help white supremacy to create a new empire. By the end of the first season we learn Hitler is alive and living in Argentina. The first season was quite good but the second seemed corny and filled with bad acting. They put Hitler on trial for his crimes against humanity. The second and final season felt like a time dilation on a different dimension. This is something producer Jordan Peele would have come up besides the creator, screenwriter and director David Weil. Jennifer Jason Leigh acted as Lerman's aunt although her age does not seem correctly assessed during this timeline. This was Pacino's first TV series of his career and he was the biggest surprise of the storyline. Overall it started out well but it ended unwatchable.
