What I’m Watching: Hunters

Hunters: Season 2, Episode 4 “The Fare” (B+)

Clara showing up definitely changed things, and it was fascinating to see how Chava initially reacted and then how she insisted she was going to make chicken. She wasn’t shy about chasisting Jonah in front of her for marrying a non-Jew and throwing away all their family heritage, and Clara responded impressively by pointing out the many Jewish rituals she had become quite familiar with over the course of their time together. But then she had to go ahead and snoop around, leading Chava to explain to her exactly what it was they were really doing, a helpful piece of information since now what Chava had warned Jonah about is very much happening. While Joe emotionlessly shooting Roxy was frightening enough, Travis is still the most terrifying villain given that he seems to enjoy the chaos, and tricking Clara into thinking he was the police then led to his very brazen act of just carrying her out in full view of everyone else there. Let’s hope that Harriet isn’t too distracted by the gift Chava got her and that this team can rally to save Roxy and get Clara back, since things are looking worse than ever for the entire group. I’m curious also if the flashbacks to Meyer sponsoring “Fiddler on the Roof” performances and having a synagogue theater named after him will lead to anything relevant to the present, or if he is just a specter of the past whose influence hangs over all these hunters and what they still do.
