It was brilliant marketing by Amazon that bought them far more exposure than they could have imagined. Plus it exposed the fascist left and their intolerance.

NOTE: I’ve tried to watch “Man in the High Castle” as it has a great premise. Unfortunately it drags in large segments and I turn it off to watch something with a faster pace, like golf.

I didn’t see it at all, but I read a lot of Dick books, loved them at the time, except for this one which was exactly as you describe. It was the only Dick book I had to drag myself through to read.

It picks up as the pieces fit together. In the last episode it starts going all existential on us, and I had to think about the ending a read a synopsis of the book to get it. I don't know if there will be a Season 2. A lot is left unresolved. The actors who play Frank and Nazi Smith are both very good. The actress who plays Julianna is very beautiful. Ed (who becomes more important later) is perfectly cast. A little hard to tell all of those black haired Japanese party officials apart.
