      • Nov 30, 2023

        Just imagine, I dare you, how the world would be now if history was different. Fantastic series to capture this thought.

      • Oct 26, 2023

        Muy buena temporada y te hace pensar en verdad seria así si los fascistas, genocidas hubieran ganado

      • Sep 23, 2023

        Alexa's acting is a jewel, resilient, fragile, sensitive and decisive in the same time. When she cry, I cry with her. This is how our world is too, small things we do that we don't know had such impact after, so shall we keep the positive and good heart regardless how the world revolve around us.

      • Sep 21, 2023

        This show had potential to be great, I loved it at first but as the show went on Alexa Davalos was to painful to keep watching. Her acting is terrible, human equivalent of a wet towel.

      • Jul 04, 2023

        Intriguing, suspenseful, and well-acted, with elements taken from LeCarre novels that expand the universe from the book, the first season does an excellent job at character development and introducing the universe, even if the plot may have some contrivances.

      • Jun 14, 2023

        Interesting story. Nevertheless, there are some flaws. The most important, in my opinion, is that despite having watched 6 full episodes in season 1, I am still waiting to receive some significant context of what exactly is happening in the rest of the World after the war. How is it possible to avoid giving information about what is going on with the Russians, Chinese... At least prove that we exist and matter for God's sake.

        "The Man in the High Castle" is a science fiction TV series set in an alternate timeline where the Axis powers won World War II and divided the United States into two territories: the Greater Nazi Reich and the Japanese Pacific States. The series follows a diverse cast of characters as they navigate this oppressive reality, and the resistance movement that seeks to overthrow the occupiers and restore freedom to America. One of the strengths of the show is its premise, which is both intriguing and thought-provoking. The idea of a world where the Nazis and the Japanese rule America is both chilling and fascinating, and the show does a great job of exploring the consequences of this reality on individual lives, politics, and culture. The production design is also top-notch, with great attention to detail in creating a world that feels both familiar and alien. The acting in "The Man in the High Castle" is generally solid, with standout performances from Rufus Sewell as John Smith, a high-ranking Nazi officer with a complex and conflicted character, and Alexa Davalos as Juliana Crain, a young woman caught up in the resistance movement. The supporting cast is also strong, with many talented actors bringing depth and nuance to their roles. On the downside, the show can be slow-paced and meandering at times, with plotlines that feel repetitive or underdeveloped. Some of the characters also suffer from inconsistent or illogical behavior, which can make it hard to invest in their arcs. Additionally, some viewers may find the show's themes of fascism and oppression to be too bleak or heavy-handed, especially given the current political climate. Overall, "The Man in the High Castle" is a thought-provoking and well-crafted series that is worth watching for fans of science fiction and alternate history. While it has its flaws, the show offers a compelling vision of a world turned upside down, and a reminder of the importance of fighting for freedom and justice in any timeline.

      • Oct 11, 2022

        Loosely based on P.K. Dick's brilliant, Hugo award winning novel, the TV adaptation does a good job of realising Dick's alternate dystopian history and philosophical questioning of the nature of reality. Well written and with some excellent performances.

      • Sep 22, 2022

        I love THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE and I am waiting to buy all seasons on amazon.

      • Mar 12, 2022

        This season was good. Just the right bit of suspense. It introduced a good premise for the next seasons to come.
