Man in the High Castle is a Collassal Failure with a Great Premise (SPOILERS)

They completely ruined a great concept I wish Harry Turtledove would have written and produced this series.

Harry couldn't write it because Phillip did.

Season two is better than one. This show suffers from the fact that the supporting characters are more interesting than the main characters.

I couldn't get past the episode with 'the marshal' in it. He was a 5 ft tall pussy with a ridiculously fake western accent trying to be a tough guy in the neutral zone (where there is supposedly no law & order).
I could get over the fact that no one just shot him in the back of the head and be done with it.

I wouldn't bet on it

It's not horrible, but I agree with most of your statement.

With the premise you could have a much better storyline.
Everytime I see it I think "there has to be more interesting shite going on in this world than Julia's love triangle."

I did like in the second season when you got to see more of how the Reich continued much of its policies of WW2.

For instance, Rocketry was the Manhattan project of Germany. We threw our might into Nuclear weapons, they to rockets. So you see they have rocket passenger service in the mid sixties but a video of a Hydrogen bomb is mind blowing to them.

You also see that they kept up the killing of undesirables and people with handicaps. Then still have grand plans like the Atlantropa.

The little details were great. I wanted to see more of 1960s Berlin, than 1960's Japanese San Francisco.

That's Karl Tanner from Gin Alley. He's a fricking legend.

actually the US never invented the atomic bomb, because the US never joined WW2. They stayed out until after europe was taken over by Germany.
What I was trying to say is that in real life we worried that Germany was going to beat us to the bomb, when they weren't even close. They had early on put much of the black funding into rockets, while ours (in real life) went to nukes.

We got rocketry later by capturing their scientists.


I get in this alternate timeline there was no real cold war so no need to further advance nuke technology.

I am in season one and enjoying it?
