It's a film for the distracted in my opinion. If you like to look at your phone and glance up at a film with pleasing images. No plot. Visual story-like vignettes. Sometimes witty banter. A collection of funny thoughts. His films are becoming more and more collections of video loosely strung together. Unfortunately for me, they are too loosely strung together, last couple of his films. Big fan of his earlier films with more closely woven plots which are still often a series a funny short videos, with some sort of overarching connection. Grand Budapest and Isle of Dogs were the last 2 I liked and found a definitive enough plot. Films prior to hat were great too.

Quite a show. They build the theme and drop you in. Season 2 I heard the best rationale for the show, the theme of the show. "They all know, the police know, the government ment knows, the politicians know..." . It's true, the US government harbored Nazis considered valuable. Wernher von Braun is the best example. He built missiles for the Nazis, shot at GB. He was part of the slave labor programs to build these mistakes but we welcomed him into our space program and our ballistic missile program. They all knew, that Nazis of value were welcomed to our shores and hidden from view. Whether you accept the other story line, the fact that we helped criminals is true and an organization of vendetta is certainly reasonable. The Israeli special forces pursued them as we all know. This year, an administrator in a nazi death camp was convicted, a secretary (and more). My country let so many worse go, live here in freedom. So this show hits it for me. I skipped Auschwitz in Poland at the recommendation of locals due to some protests at the time....but I regretted it so much I visited Dachau to see it for myself because we must never forget. The ovens, the gas chambers, the camps, all of it is so much young people question the reality. This show is a vendetta show. And it is so right. Action, mystery, all of that with a purpose! Of course the story line is fiction, but the big picture is truth.

So we watched season 1 and it was decent. Season 2 starts out with a storyline which is designed for a 13 yo fantasizing about a boyfriend, first kiss, party, etc. Its rather transparent. Kids can fool parents easily with lock and key magic tricks, etc. It's like a Disney kids show. Almost unwatchable. I'd give season one a 6.5-6.7. Season 2 opener, a 5.0 and that's generous. Hopefully follow on episodes are not designed solely to catch the early teen audience. I think the writers or staff became wildly more flamboyant in gratuitous horror for season 2. For a fan of plot line, intelligent stories this has degraded to a gore fest, laugh at it storyline, which they try and educate viewers on in episode 1.
