The tone of this show feels way off. It presents a world where the bad guys are senselessly evil, and the good guys are righteous and just in their revenge quest only by the scope of the villain's evil. The show indulges in the violence, often exaggerating it to the point of slapstick. And then the next scene drops some tragic Holocaust exposition, or blatant racism on you to justify it.
I feel like they either needed to commit to the absurd satire of monstrous Nazi war criminals living in 1950s USA, or to the dramatic tale of a band of holocaust survivors grappling to lead moral lives while being compelled to seek revenge on the men who tortured them and their families, but we're left with an awkward in-between that feels like they went ahead with their first draft of the script.
To me it seems that the showrunners really just wanted to make a series about killin' nazis, and I guess they did.
