If the various plot threads can be kept from spinning out of control in the season’s second half, The Man in the High Castle is on track to repeat history and deliver another heady, engaging run.
Season 2 adds another wrinkle to an already complex interweaving of multiple narratives, so it might be a tough task for new viewers to jump in without context. But if you take the plunge, you’ll be rewarded with a viewing experience unlike anything else on TV at the moment.

While the first season set the tone, the second season rushes along. I have become enamoured of each of the characters. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa certainly delivers an award worthy performance as trade minister Tagomi. Yes to season 3.

SEASON 2
Please stop with these political correct hypocrisy: Get real, we can't have a black SS Oberführer as POV in this show. Plus, there's absolutely no **** promotion,this is called "character depth". In "The Man in the High Castle" **** are not just stupid, shallow bad guys like in the whole american cinematography (i.e. Saving Private Ryan) you should get used to it, because I guess it reflects a little more the reality.

SEASON 2
The score ably amps up the foreboding, and the action sequences are gritty, scary and especially well-staged.
The series expands its scope intriguingly (Berlin becomes a significant setting), but it might benefit from setting an endpoint.
Season 2 definitely has more action and digs deeper into the mystery, at least in the five episodes made available.
The show just doesn’t take off. The plots are overly elaborate, the supernatural element is distracting, and, worst of all, the acting isn’t very good. ... A perfect opportunity for timely, mind-bending TV squandered.
It’s the worst TV show of 2016. ... By the end of its second season, The Man in the High Castle has essentially abandoned everything fascinating about its first season in favor of a junky sci-fi drama with reality-hopping characters and a bunch of caricature Nazi bad guys.
People who criticize the show because of its turn to sci-fi like Mr. Todd VanDerWerff, maybe are forgetting this little detail: Philip K. **** was a Sci-Fi author. Please, read carefully this review of Shifting Realities by P.K. ****:
"In this posthumous collection of adventurous essays, journal excerpts, autobiographical sketches, plot scenarios and interviews, science fiction writer **** (1928-82) ruminates on parallel universes, the Jungian connective principle of synchronicity (meaningful coincidence), mind as energy field, his LSD trips, the I Ching, telepathy and "fake realities" manufactured by the mass media. ****, who in one piece describes himself as a "pre-schizophrenic personality," plunges readers into altered states of consciousness. He claims, for example, to have retrieved buried memories of alternate realities; in another piece, he recalls having been a secret Christian in ancient Rome, awaiting Christ's return from the dead. Sutin, **** biographer, in his useful introductory essay, interprets **** as a philosophical and spiritual thinker with affinities to the Gnostics of the early Christian era. Included are two completed chapters of a proposed sequel to his novel The Man in the High Castle; they conjure a **** post-WWII world in which Hermann Goring runs a Luftwaffe base in Florida in 1956".

Although it still manages to keep the story going, it stumbles when it tries to fit in sci-fi in a historic 'cool' way. The performances are not quite so engaging as well but it doesn't mean the rest of the show will be miserable though.
