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.
Much of the six hours made available for preview centers on Juliana and Joe--and at times their story can drag. But the redeeming glory of Castle is the expansive world of characters it creates.

Catching,touching,exciting and mindblowing. This show is very well crafted. I hope more poeple could watch it.

On a macro-scale, the series is absorbing, but it takes a few episodes to settle into the smaller stories that are unfolding.
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 definitely has more action and digs deeper into the mystery, at least in the five episodes made available.
The series, in large part, fails to deliver on its fascinating premise. Simply put, it’s plodding, moves at a glacial pace and overreaches with too many diffuse narrative strands.
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.
A great alternative fiction piece that adapts the original book fairly well and then creates something very unique in its own right. There are a couple of episodes mid-season that seems like they do not go anywhere but major plotlines are wrapped up towards the end. Great acting for a sci-fi series, great costumes, cinematography and limited CGI, as well.
Report
Good tv show in general terms, it sure had a lot more to develop from such interesting plot, they had very good ideas that they did not even care about developing and they just ended it like if they ran out of money and had to end the show at the point it was, no proper ending to a show that was good and interesting.
With a proper closure I would have given it an **** I dare to say that it does not even have an ending at all.

Season 1 - Interesting
Season 2 - Okay.
Season 3 - Bad.
Season 4 - Straight Trash
The series started off well, with an interesting premise. I’m not necessarily against politics in TV and Film, especially when we are talking about a series such as The Man in the High Castle. It is inherently political. However, Season 4 took this too far. It felt more like I was watching political propaganda than a TV series for enjoyment. A lot of the social commentary felt forced and negatively impacted the flow of dialogue in the series. The Irish guy, the Trade Minister and Smith are all decent characters though played by decent actors.
