6.Hunters

This is the series Hunters who had been a hit during the year 2020, ahead The Wheel of Time or Reacher. The Rotten Tomatoes site, mentioned above, has a 68% audience score. Nevertheless, the series has been criticized a lot, and the Auschwitz memorial itself goes beyond its criticism.

Produced by the great Jordan Peele (who directed the films Get Out, Us, Nope), the series looks back on the tragic history of the Jews during Nazi Germany, and on the various tortures and despicable treatments they suffered. However, a made-up chess scene particularly displeased. Thus, the memorial expressed itself on this subject:

“Auschwitz was filled with horrific suffering documented in the accounts of survivors. Inventing a fake human chess game to Hunters is not just dangerous madness and caricature. This will feed future Holocaust deniers. We honor the victims by keeping the facts accurate.”

7. Jack Ryan

Here is another series that broke records: Jack Ryan. According to the website Statisticsseason 2 of the Amazon program would have reached the 7.3 million viewers for the first episode. And in all, more than 9 million viewers watched the American series in the United States.
