Season 3 Review: The expert editing keeps the pace up as the story dashes from place to place, but there are moments where this work really shines, particularly when acting as a way to juxtapose life in the Reich vs life in the Resistance. There’s something for everyone this season, and though it’s a slow-burn drama compared to some shows on TV today, the 10-episode watch is well worth your time. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A compulsively compelling series that grows richer and more emotionally nuanced as it gains momentum, The Man in the High Castle milks its provocative what-if premise for plenty of smart suspense and subtle shading. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Season 2, which premieres December 16, continues to find ways to make this world feel real and grounded, even as the mythology surrounding the more fantastical possibilities inherent in its premise gets deeper. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Netflix might be the dominant streaming service player when it comes to original series, but quantity never trumps quality, as Man proves. The detail in imagining New York City as a Nazi stronghold remains extraordinary, from the skyscrapers bearing the flag of the Third Reich down to the swastika ice sculpture dripping at a fancy party.

Season 2 Review: All this means that it’s frequently an interesting series rather than an absorbing one, and that it encourages a kind of detached contemplation that not many dramas can offer. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Those are a lot of threads to knit together, and some feel looser than others.... But there are enough chilling scenes to make The Man in the High Castle genuinely disturbing. Read full review

Season 2 Review: 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.

The world building is insanely good, so many details. This world breathes National Socialism in every street and every room. They really went above and beyond with terrifying Nazi trivia. For me season 4 was the perfect climax. Gotta love it.

Nazis, multiverses, and high family drama. "The Man In The High Castle" definitely has a lot to offer. What America might look like if the Reich HAD won WWII is a horrifying premise. Add to that multiverses where different versions of each character has made different choices and are livingNazis, multiverses, and high family drama. "The Man In The High Castle" definitely has a lot to offer. What America might look like if the Reich HAD won WWII is a horrifying premise. Add to that multiverses where different versions of each character has made different choices and are living different lives. Mind blown. Over four seasons, we saw how everyone tried to adapt to their reality. Some survive (or even flourish) inside the system (the Smiths, Kido, Tagomi, Childan). Some fight against the system (Juliana, the BCR, Frank Fink). The production values of "TMITHC" are excellent. The uniforms and the Nazi imagery are chilling. There are also a number of excellent performances. John Smith (Rufus Sewell) is definitely a standout. I also enjoyed his interactions with wife Helen (Chelah Horsdal). In the Japanese occupied territory Joel de la Fuente played the ruthless Kido. Yes, he is a violent killer but there is a heart way down in there somewhere. In fact, all the main characters on this show are people who has done horrible things. Season 4 dragged a bit. I wanted to see more of the multiverses instead of time spent on the usual conflicts. I wont give away the ending but if you know Phillip K Dick, you have an idea what's in store. Criticisms aside, I still enjoyed this crazy and thought provoking show.… Expand

Love the world building element to this show, feels very much like an alternative timeline. Just sometimes it is a little slow to develop...

This is perhaps one of the worst acted and scripted shows to ever exist. I would be embarrassed to be associated with this show in any way. The horror that is this show starts right away with a girl who dies and a sister who is seemingly emotionally unmoved by her passing.

The cross over of Chinese belief systems into Japanese culture is bizarre and confusing.

Seriously. Skip this show and save yourself a lot of pain.… Expand
