Same here. Exactly what I meant.

Second episode better. Characters starting to become more interesting. The main Japanese bad guy is really good. Good tunes on the soundtrack.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

It looks great too.

How Designers Created a Nazi-Run World in “The Man in the High Castle”

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Finished this last night.
Some enjoyable elements, but a bit of a slog overall.

Spoiler

Kinda felt bad for the top Nazi when his Hitler Youth son got sick.

And the whole thing felt like a fucking set up for season two anyway.
Like chewing and not being allowed swallow.

All tv is going this way, innit. Bloody frustrating.

You get that thought "I could be watching 3 Kurosawa films, instead of 6 episodes of this"

"I've invested ten hours of my life and you're leaving me like this? LIKE THIS?"

Still, I enjoyed it, mostly. Decent, creepy vibe. But by the time season 2 rocks up, I may not give a shit.

There was this flicker. Right as the phone rings in the cabin, a light flashes across Rupert Evans' face. And I think that is like a moment where Hitler either dies or doesn't die. So history diverges or something. Who knows?
Maybe I should just read the damn book. Heh.

Read a book???? Did we lose a war?

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Read a book????

That would be a real alternate universe.

 

[pete]

I thought it was pretty good. It's substantially different from the book. No hitler action for starters.
