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.

It imagines cities every bit as breathtaking as those in that other Dick adaptation, 1982 film Blade Runner. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 11/21/2019
So while on the one hand I commend showrunner Eric Overmyer and the producers for acknowledging the role African Americans play in every freedom fight this nation has been embroiled in - even ones in fictional, "what if" histories - thanks but no thanks.

3/5
Season four allowed more time with Brennan Brown's Robert Childan, the antique dealer who is left somewhat in limbo... Their arc was a refreshing bit of light in a very dark season, and Brown deserves credit for doing a lot with often very little. Go to Full Review Kylie Klein-Nixon The Post NZ 04/13/2020
It manages to fuse fantasy, history and sci-fi in one nerve-jangling, action-packed adventure. Go to Full Review Ricardo De Querol El Pais (Spain) 02/06/2020
The series has a good starting point, makes unconvincing turns, but have good characters, on the edge of good and evil. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 01/27/2020
Though it's questionable whether the circuitous journey makes the destination worthwhile, The Man in the High Castle nevertheless builds toward a fascinating finale. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Wilbour B Nov 22 such a peak series right here folks See more An V @Anuria Sep 13 Thrilling! The suspense is killing me in episode 2. This series is well cast, good acting performance and compelling story. I really binged all seasons and I'm excited where the story goes next and where it al will lead up to. See more CHANSON C May 30 Loved all the seasons, agree with some that the second season was my least favorite. But not by far. Season 4, while it loses some of the most interesting characters it still intrigued me. It happens with great shows. There are many reviewers who seem very turned off with the 4th seasons African American perspective and having their own resistance. Some of them seem to have missed the point entirely. Each season portrayed brutal treatment towards many varieties of people under the reich, by the Japanese, and even in ALT worlds (America as we know it), showcasing unique hardships and bigotry. It also portrayed bravery and goodness and blurred lines for pro and antagonist. I applaud the show for giving them a story. While the ending was rushed it felt complete. The entire series rang loud like a warning of devastating consequences for countries who fall under dictatorship and reminder that in the current US climate we need to hold on to democracy for dear life. Overall it was a cinematic, intelligent and gorgeous sci-fi, I was mesmerized. Keep an open mind and binge this show See more Frans B @FransB Mar 22 Story still develops and grows. Amazing that the production team found a way to bring some closure to so many elements and with so much finesse. Great show all in all See more Phillip D @phildub Mar 11 Top of the line show. Difficult to do this many seasons. See more Louis B @da_louisl 02/12/2025 Second best season of this series and I dont really understand why it gets SO much hate. The storyline gets so much refreshment, so much new perspectives and development, it really feels thought through (except the finale) and makes this series even better. On the other hand i didnt like the ending, especially the missing explanations, and i think that Smiths character got a worse script in this season than in the other seasons. They couldve done so many things with him but eventually gone the easy way out in the last three episodes by making him the super villain. Couldve ended better. Overall, The Man in the High Castle was one of the best series I have ever seen. See more Read all reviews
