Tries to do too much. After a promising first episode, it rather fell apart. It wants to be a serious look at the atrocities of WWII & Concentration Camps; constantly showcasing them; and then jumping to (at times wacky) ultra violent Jewish revenge. It just doesn't mesh well at all.
It's really hard to get any enjoyment, at least for me. The main reason for this is, as mentioned above, their constant showing of the camps & what terrible things happened to people there. While the specific tales in the show (probably) are fictional; millions of people really did die there, maybe not in those exact ways; but certainly in a plethora of unimaginable other terrible ways.
Then it wants to jump back to present day & I'm supposed to just enjoy FURTHER scenes of torture &violence (no matter how deserving it may be?)
It's just hard to watch. Like if someone spliced Schindler's List and IG together. Just no.
Maybe I'll try it again some other day; but for now: DROPPED.
