This series, loosely based Philip K. Dick's novel of the same name, takes a look at what the world might look like had the outcome of World War II turned out differently. In this dystopian scenario, the Axis powers won the war, leading to the United States being divided into three parts, an area controlled by the Japanese, a Nazi-controlled section, and a buffer zone between the two. Despite the oppression, a new hope emerges when films turn up that seem to show a different world. A woman believes the films contain the key to freedom and is determined to find their mysterious guardian.

A-
The first half of the second season is ripe with potential, and given that the first season became clearer and more cohesive as it went on, the show is not yet to be dismissed. Go to Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic 01/02/2017
That The Man in the High Castle is a valuable show doesn't mean it's a perfect one, although the second season is stronger than the first, which invested much more heavily in visuals and style than it did in story or characters. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 12/21/2016
The Man in the High Castle pulls off a number improbable feats as it evolves. Go to Full Review Katharine Trendacosta io9.com 04/11/2018
The show has so much going on that I don't recommend binge-watching it as much as I do savoring each episode. Go to Full Review Jeremy Jahns JeremyJahns.com 01/22/2018
The show starts to slip at a point when some of the side arcs start to be useless in season two...the scary people who were villains in season one ultimately become antiheroes. Go to Full Review Ankita Chawla Scroll.in 05/31/2017
The show is unnerving and relevant. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Marko B @RT77389149 05/12/2025 Must see of a series!! See more Frans B @FransB 03/22/2025 Building on solid foundation of first season. All characters evolving and adapting, plot with twists and turns, visually very appealing. Still extraordinary See more Phillip D @phildub 03/11/2025 Top of the line show. See more angela g @Sunflower378 08/07/2024 this season is also the best season of the show See more K T @RT26201763 07/28/2024 Love: interrupted. First season went hard with the will-they-wont-they of the main characters in the best way. Think Mulder and Scully. Season two, they don't even have a scene together?! Why did they let that tantilizing plot device die?! It was so good. Now the love story has lost its momentum. See more Emanuele G @RT47826124 02/15/2024 Still good, but the alternative universe trick is starting to poison the story. See more Read all reviews
