Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

But hell of a roller coaster ride towards the end of second season. In really enjoyed the way show progressed. A bit slow at times, but beautifully done. Can't wait to watch next season.

"The man in the high castle" tells the story of a world where Germany and Japan have won the second world war and now face a new era in their relationship as Hitler is about to die, leaving especially the divided continent of America in turmoil. In this world, different characters on different sides of history try to find their way and do what seems right to them.I didn't read the book, however I thought that the premission sounded interesting and so me and my girlfriend gave it a watch. The major issue of this series is that there is almost no-one you can bond with. I pretty much hated all the characters in the end and don't even get me started on the main hero Julianne who kills more resistance fighters than the whole Nazi regime over the episoded but is somehow depicted as a saint. There's a time-travelling Japanese guy, a fact that is never explained, a guy producing films that are obviously important as it seems, even though I still don't get why and some unfriendly characters that are supposed to be the good ones. Let's just say it's not a good sign for a series when the option of one of the heroes getting shot seems more like a relief than a tragedy.All in all this is simply not good. There are better approaches in relation to WWII, there are better resistance films and series and better scripts. It still is professionally produced and probably not even bad acted but it leaves a lot (!) of space for improvement.

Television Review: "The Man In The High Castle (2015-2018)Based on the-1982-deceased author Philip K. Dick's award-winning novel from 1962, written in times of political revolt and changes into John F. Kennedy administration, a 33-year-old writer from Chicago, Illinois confronts his fear of spinning historical events into an intriguing story of high-ranked officers invading U.S. American soil under the Nationalsozialist party of the "German Reich" after winning World World II in decisive battles in the summer of 1945, splitting the North American continent in two in favor for the Nationalsocialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) in the East and Imperial Japan in the West.Executive producer Ridley Scott, under his 1995-reinvented Scott Free Productions label, and television format creator Frank Spotnitz took the original content to present an high-end organized world of Nationalsocial order in the homes of the selecte few, here impressionally portrayed by actor Rufus Sewell as firm as struggling army-leading Nazi-Officer John Smith, delegating between strict office duties, hunting as executing any exposed resistance and a caring family life with wife and two girls in pitch-perfect designed suburban house of splendid food, wine and the occasional smoke, before meeting infiltrating character of Juliana Craine, performed by show-carrying, pushing-limits-of-anxiety actress Alexa Davalos, who transforms in a major struggle of identity, where to belong in a world going havok, in the first 20 episodes of Season 1 and 2 of immediately-streaming-internet as televison-broadcasting upto sixty-minute-episodes of "The Man In The High Castle" from Amazon Studios, founded in 2010 as affiliate of Seattle-seated parent Amazon.com, Inc.

Im late to the party on this programme. while overall the series is really good, it does have its ups and downs, i find myself drifting sometimes.
The title music is enough to make your ears bleed, its the most annoying sound i have ever heard, be prepared to fast forward or mute then miss the beginning of the actual programme so have to rewind, but then rewind too far only to hear that noise poking pins in your eardrums. A noise so irritating it pushed me towards having to vent my frustrations in the first review on imbd i have ever done.
