Watch the Intense Opening Credits for Al Pacino's Hunters

If you're looking for another blood-soaked action series with comic book sensibilities while you're waiting for Season 2 of The Boys, Amazon is likely hoping that its new Al Pacino-fronted thriller, Hunters, makes it onto your watchlist. Centered around a group of Nazi hunters in 1970s New York, led by Pacino's Meyer Offerman (who recruits Logan Lerman's naive young comic book aficionado, Jonah Heidelbaum, to the cause), Hunters was created by David Weil, who was inspired by his grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, to tell a fantastical but all-too relevant tale about a young Jewish kid who is able to reclaim power from his oppressors. "She would tell me stories about her time during the war. And as a young kid, five, six years old, hearing those stories, they felt like the stuff of comic books and superheroes. And as I got older I struggled with that feeling of birthright: What was my responsibility now to continue her story? So many Holocaust survivors are no longer with us and that community is growing smaller and smaller by the year," Weil pointed out during Amazon's presentation at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. "And so for me this was a love letter to my grandmother. It was a quest to don that vigilante cape in the face of rising antisemitism in the world, racism, xenophobia. It was a desire to shed light on hidden crimes and hidden truths. And it was also kind of a desire to create a sense of catharsis and wish fulfillment for a young Jewish kid growing up on Long Island who wanted to see superheroes who looked like him on screen." IGN has an exclusive sneak peek at the show's stylized opening credits, showing Meyer's band of hunters set against the Nazi leaders who have infiltrated US society, including those played by Dylan Baker and Lena Olin.

Pacino also shared what attracted him to the TV series when speaking to critics: "There’s an originality in this show and it’s somewhat eccentric. And all of a sudden you’ll see it from certain angles... There are a lot of elements in it that catch you off guard, and that’s part of the interest. It holds your interest because you never know when a joke is going to come," he said. "That was what really appealed to me when I read it, that there was this element [that] things are not what they seem."
