This show has some great imagery and ideas. This is half promo, half music video because I like the song.

I have yet to watch any season of this. I keep meaning to, but I keep putting it off.
It can be a little slow at times, but the acting and production values are top notch.Quote:

The TV show varies quite a bit from Dick's story. Pretty much the same broad ideas where Nazi Germany and Japan were the winning superpowers after the war, and people in the US become subservient pawns and then rebels.Quote:

At 1:32 in the trailer above they show a quick spoiler of sorts. It won't ruin anything about the previous two seasons as the idea is unique and cool.
I'm assuming they'd have to change a bunch of things, or at least add a bunch of subplots, to get 3 seasons out of a really short book. It's not very long at all, maybe 250 pages or slightly less.
And they removed key elements like the book within the story idea, author being involved, and still came up with a compelling show.
It's eerie watching the Germans run the country and their tense relationship with the Japanese. Lots of variation from the story but all of it is done well and interesting.
The author's not involved? But the author is literally The Man In The High Castle. What's the point if he's not in it?
I'm trying to keep parts of this secret...this comes out during season one at one point so here goes...Quote:

:thumbsup:
Oopsy, just read some reviews of this season and people are saying it became too preachy and SJW :lol:
I haven't started watching 3 yet but the protagonist has always been a woman from the get-go.
Lots of male and female characters, can't see where women have been elevated or marginalized anywhere.
Me and the wife just finished season 3 the other day. I guess maybe there was some of that in it, but I don't think it was that bad. :-kQuote:
