The Plot Against America
A cautionary tale that hits close to home, The Plot Against America's handsomely realized revisionist history is disturbingly relevant, making it difficult, but essential viewing.

Episodes
Herman takes his family to look at a house in an upwardly mobile neighborhood, though Bess is wary of leaving the safety of their tight-knit Jewish community; Evelyn becomes charmed by a distinguished local clergyman.
Lindbergh's increasingly popular campaign captures some in the Levin family, as well as Bengelsdorf; Alvin must decide between serving a local real estate magnate or risking an open fight with the fascist forces he sees spreading across the world.
Charles Lindbergh puts Bengelsdorf in charge of a program called Just Folks; Bess places her family on a waiting list to emigrate to Canada; the Levins take a trip to Washington, D.C., where they experience anti-Semitism among citizens and police.
Evelyn and Bengelsdorf receive an invitation from Mrs. Lindbergh to a state dinner for Nazi Germany's foreign minister; back from war, Alvin takes a job at his uncle's warehouse; Philip is traumatized by a death in the neighborhood.
After learning the family has been selected for a forced relocation, Herman looks to make a challenge in court; Bess gives Herman an ultimatum when violence breaks out at a rally for Lindbergh's most public liberal challenger.
As riots and conspiracies spread across the country in the lead up to election day, Herman takes measures to keep his family safe; Bess does all she can at a great distance to help a small child caught in a maelstrom of anti-Semitism in Kentucky.

Nov 21, 2021For those who can't hate America enough, here's more fiction.
-
Nov 08, 2021No comparison to the excellent book! They eliminated the boy's point of view and ruined it.
-
Aug 06, 2021Beautifully done. This series was excellent! This storyline is a liberal's wet dream. On the order of the Purge franchise only much, much more likely to become reality. Don't miss it.
-
May 07, 2021This series may be appealing to anyone who hasn't seen every Holocaust, anti-semitic, anti-fascist, anti-racism movie ever. But for everyone else this series doesn't show or tells us anything new. It is more of the same. And not even close to as good as its predecessors. It should not have bored me but it did. I only pushed through all the episodes out of respect for the subject matter. The actors and cinematography was good, don't get me wrong. But the storytelling, pacing and dialogue among a few other things just weren't grappling enough. SAD!

Apr 11, 2021Never could really get totally into this as far as the story goes but the set and costume design, as well as the acting, were all top notch, which was no surprise with Simon at the helm. Philip Roth is on my Rushmore of writers but this novel is among my least favorites of his and I remember it standing out because it was different than much of his previous work at the time.

Sep 15, 2020Awful. I hate this alternate history crap where they take real people and make them into whatever they want. Not being a zionist doesn't make you an anti semite - all orthodox religion tends to put people in that bracket when criticised. Lindbergh, in spite of his views of non intervention, after pearl harbour, went and fought for the American Airforce, whatever his differences were. This alternate history crap is probably a Tarantion Fad which has just ruined narratives beyond repair.

Aug 28, 2020Very boring. The similar "The Man In The Hig Castle" it's much better
-
Aug 25, 2020The series is written so great!! Fantastic work from David Simon. The series has a great cast, every shines. Winona Ryder? Zoe Kazan and John Turturro especially gave powerful performances. The series is highly timely with what's going on in the us right now and what has been going on. It's a great adaptation from Philip Roth's book.

Aug 07, 2020Captivating, alternative history thriller / drama. A clever premise with strong characters and sub plots interwoven as the changing America threatens this normal, working class Jewish family in this unique, emotionally tense mini-series. Humour, hope mixed with conflicting loyalties. An absolute must see.

Jul 27, 2020Great show. Interesting storyline, definitely worth watching. Absolutely needs another season.
