Is this done after the novel, “Fatherland”?

No. It's based on this novel.

Wished they would make a series showing what America would be like if Slavery had been abolished in 1776. Wouldn’t have the problems we have now.

“Sorry, here’s another question, do you have to watch on your computer, or can it be watched on the TV?”

You might be able too if you have chrome cast hooked up to your TV.

Or if you have a Smart TV with Google apps.

I just watched it on my 24” computer monitor. It looked and played fine.

Thanks HA, I’m glad you voted for a winner, I know that can be rare experience for us!

True dat...especially for those of us stuck (for awhile) living in a blue state such as Maryland. The only “successful” vote I’ve cast in many years was for Larry Hogan, our current Republican governor. He’s put a stop to many of the ‘RAT excesses here...at least for now.

Did you check the house number before you rang?

“..living in a blue state such as Maryland.”

Oh I know! That state loves Obama more than his own mother did!

“Coincidentally I met Rutger hauer years ago and he told me it was one of his best movies aside from Blade Runner.”

A movie that was actually better than the book. Coincidentally, it was a film directed by Scott based on a book by PKD.

In Blade Runner, Rutger has one of the most astonishing scenes in movie history: He meets his creator. He asks his creator for more life. When denied, he kisses his creator. He kills his creator.

It’s such a profound statement on the human condition.

Thanks, I myself would be OK with watching on the computer, but I don’t know if hubby would like that so much.

I got into one of my very fave shows, Nashville, because I was watching HULU at a part time job I had where I had little to do often.

I watched an episode of Glee and then they served up Nashville and I’m still so glad they did, I L.O.V.E. that show, and I would probably never have seen it except for that day watching HULU.

So, content providers, I’d tell you to get your show out there by whatever means are available.

I remember a book or movie that did this many moons ago. Can’t remember the name. Hitler won the war.

And I like cheese.

Seriously, the "Hitler-won-the-war" meme is so prevalent in popular culture, that's like saying "I once read a comic book or saw a t.v. show about aliens invading Earth."

Regards,

We certainly lost 1984.

I have already seen this on Amazon Prime several months ago. It was good but I am still waiting for the next episode. I would say more but spoilers...

That's the movie I remember.

Joseph P. Kennedy is scheduled to meet the fuhrer on his birthday, and he's handed a dossier with evidence of the camps.

He reacts with horror, and the Presidential limo drives away, leaving Hitler standing there looking foolish.

I didn't know it was a mini-series. And maybe I'm confusing it with another film.
