I may have to get Amazon Prime just to watch this. Wolverines!
I watched the first episode months ago (they were offering one episode free.) I didn’t want to pay for the rest, but now that it’s on Amazon Prime, I might give it a go.
The plot was interesting: we lost WWII. Japan gets the Western states...Nazis get the eastern states.
Can’t remember much more than that.
Bkmrk.
Liked episodes 1 and 2 when they originally came out. Watched episode 3 last night and part of episode 4. Okay so far, hoping it gets better.
Not to hijack the thread but the best series on tv right now imho is the second season of Fargo. It's even better than the first season, which is was great.
First and Second season episodes available here Click Here
Saw episode 1 yesterday.
Really well done. Major plot twists in the first episode that really shakes up what you would predict would happen. Admittedly my stomach sinks about the world that these people live in, and seeing the opening theme song was pretty tough to see as an American.
Also great special effects for an Amazon show. They really got the look down to the point where it was very believable. Maybe more on the “Japanese” side because it contrast so heavily from the Nazis. Basically you have to consider the people on the west coast to be the lucky ones. Well that is unless what they say might happen on the German sides comes to pass.
Overall I’m excited to see how it plays out!
Is it on Netflix?
Could have been worse if either the Russians under Stalin or the Chinese under Mao had replaced both the Japs and the Nazis in the series.
Yes, I’m up to episode 4 now - pretty good so far. Never thought the song “Edelweiss” would make,the hair on the back of my neck stand up, but the intro credits are seriously creepy.
Amazon.
Not sure we actually lost WW2 in the story. That seems to be the big secret. PS I never read the book.
It’s on Amazon streaming video.
Wasn’t this originally being developed as a SyFy miniseries?
I’ve seen the first two episodes, not the new one that came out 11/20.
They are very good at carrying forward the plot and subtly revealing the horrors of that world within the budget.
I remember seeing a promo for this, looked very interesting (but perhaps depressing given the way the country is going lately).
Almost too many decent shows on for me to keep up right now I’m watching marvel agents of Shield, Grimm, Jessica Jones, Gotham....
Australian film like Red Dawn.
It’s quite good. I recommend it.
I’ve seen the first two episodes and they were excellent. Hoping that the rest is just as good.
