Man In The High Castle...

Smitty500mag
Anybody watch the TV series on Amazon? The 4th and final season is out. I've been watching the series for a couple of years now and sorta got hooked on it. It was a good show but I was disappointed in the final episode. There's so many characters in the show that you can forget who's who if you don't stay on top of it.

The show is about an American alternate history depicting a parallel universe where the Axis powers win World War II. The Japanese have control over the West Coast and the Nazi's have control over the East Coast and there's a neutral zone in between.

I've often wondered what would it be like if the Allies had lost WWII.

I'm just surprised that the liberals in charge of the film industry would allow Swastikas and other German symbols to be shown. The people that did the wardrobe making for this show did some expensive work. Those German uniforms were done really well.

    Philip K. Dick is one of the grandmasters of the golden age of science fiction - wonderful books and novels and novellas and short stories...

    Superb alternate universe or alternate timeline or alternate reality tale.

    Or try the riverworld series by Philip Joseph farmer - the books or the TV adaptation.

    Leon Uris wrote QBVII which follows a similar theme and style - so have many others...

    H. Beam Piper wrote spectacular future history novels.

    It's strange they'll make and sell some shows on DVD. Maybe they'll sell it as a box set?

    I don't know about that. I just got DVDs that was brought out by Amazon "Good Omens". I thought they only sold books. Imagine my surprise they got a "studio". Hell youtube even puts out DVDs "Cobra Kai" and all they do is host dumb ass people doing dumb ass things.
