Very good show.
I believe the second season is only 10 episodes...the same as the first season.
In Phillip K. Dick’s original novel there was a hint that the Allies actually did win the war.
20 episodes in season 2?
Just banged s2, I liked it
Much better than season 1 and season 1 was good.
Just 10 episodes but a nice binge watch.
Looking forward to this, though I need to go back and re-watch S1 in order to be ready. I rather enjoyed the first season when I watched it last year.
Another Amazon Prime series I’m having a lot of fun watching is “The Grand Tour,” which is basically the original BBC “Top Gear” without The Stig or “Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.” I’m loving how they’re flipping the bird to the BBC.

Philip K. Dick’s estate must have made a fortune by now licensing his short stories and novels for screenplays and TV scripts. Well deserved, too - he was a great science-fiction writer.
I couldn’t get past actual history when I tried to watch this series. I stopped in the middle of the first episode
I watched the original pilot movie, thought it was pretty good,
Maybe some binge watching is in store for Sunday before and after the Pats/Broncos game....
I haven’t read the book. I borrowed it from the library but stuff came up and I had to return it (couldn’t renew it).
I discovered that I got it as part of my Amazon Prime membership this past Thanksgiving. Have now watched both seasons.
Great show. Departing from the novel was the only way to have a chance at making it good.
I once read a book called, “The Fatherland”. It takes place in the mid-60’s and Hitler had won the war, though it was because the US had not entered it and the US was similar to the way it is today. I also enjoyed some of the Harry Turtledove alternate history books about the civil war and WWII.
I’m also a student of Hitler’s Germany.
I watched the very first episode of The Man in the High Tower last night. It is the only one I will watch.
In a nutshell, It was the same experience I had when my daughter loaned me the DVD’s of the first season of Battlestar Galactica a few years ago. I felt like I was being strung along, and in the case of BG, It took me two seasons to realize they were making it up as they went along.
I don’t do that any more. I saw how the first episode ended last night and I am NOT going down that path again. The only way I would watch any of these soap operas is if I’m a shut in with massive amounts of time on my hands to kill.
I’ve not had television since 1997, but did get the entire Firefly series on DVD. Although the episodes have some connection, they are all individual episodes with a specific plot that has a beginning and an end. Is that sort of TV show just a thing of the past? Is everything a soap opera these days?
Best intro ever.
Edelweiss being gently sung while images of WWII (per the series) playing in the background. Such beautiful contrast.
Love the series and Season 2’s ending was trippy... can’t wait!
