I really enjoyed the first season. Still need to watch the 2nd.

I'm on about episode five now. Very nuanced, and I'm enjoying. Really kind of shocked that it even got made to be honest.

Second season way better than first

It focused more on the goat character (obergruppenfuhrer)

The book was very introspective and character-driven. I have no idea how they made a show out of it. The M. Knight Shamalama twist ending was probably mind-blowing in the early 60's, but wouldn't have as much effect today.

Still, there's a weird cult of people who have formed a quasi-religion based on Dick's work.

Season 1 was decent but season 2 was great. The funny thing is the best/most interesting characters in the show are the Japanese and Nazi ones. The American characters are a little annoying at times.

It's not nearly as good as it should be or can be. Production value is top notch, performances are really good but the story is lacking... Which they have no excuse for because it's such an exciting premise with a million exciting possibilities.

It could be so much better than what it is. I really wish HBO was making it.

Damn I'll need to check it out. I watched the first and then completely forgot about the second.

I enjoyed it. Season 2 was better IMO but definitely still left more questions than answers

It's slow, but there are a lot of moving parts to engage.

I'm just glad that they got this show going before this year's nonsense of branding everything the SJWs don't like as Nazi/Fascist. This should would never be greenlit in 2017. Fact.

The first season got slow at times, but it is worth sticking with it. Season two was really good. There is one character that is really not very compelling. I hope the writers can fix that for next season. If so, this could end up being my favorite current series.

I've seen the first 2 seasons. I enjoyed them and do recommend watching.

It was a bit hard to get into and the characters do make some dumb decisions. But the story line is good.

Season 3 rumored to drop late 2017. No date confirmed.

Possible Spoilers if you haven't watched first 2 seasons, but not really:
