To the sounds of the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black," Jonah wanders through the chaotic blackout, seeing visions of Ruth, Murray, and Arthur who blame him for their deaths.

Feb 28, 2020 · For dramatic purposes, the fusion of facts and fiction builds to a Hunters season 1 finale that wisely (and conveniently) incorporates a real-life Nazi leader. During the 10-episode Hunters season 1, the titular squad tracks Nazis across the eastern United States and hopes to prevent the rise of the Fourth Reich.
