What? I hadn’t heard there was a second season. Guess I may be the last to know. We’ll have to check it out. Thanks.
Sadly, the creators met after Donald’s win and are looking to modify the storyline.
Just read that yesterday.
I’m excited!
That last season was so good, I had to not binge it.
I’ll likely finish up WestWorld first and watch it after Christmas.
What was the first series about.
With the holidays and basic lack of what we watch, we use Amazon’s Acorn to watch old and great Brit tv series.
I was bored silly
AP and Netflix are doing so pretty good series. They also have a number of flops.
I would like to see them either add more episodes or expand the series to more than 6 to 10 episodes per year. By the time the next season starts, I have forgotten most of the first season plots and characters.
High Castle is one of my binge series. That is one advantage to these kinds of streaming services — they tend to dump all season episodes at once.
I didn’t make it through episode 1.
Didn’t the first season end with it all being a dream or something?
Let me guess: President Trump has added a second day for burning the cripples.
Maybe I’ll try this one. Right now I’m watching “The Night Manager”, which is great. I had passed “The Man in the High Castle” by, but perhaps that was a mistake.
Thanks!
I have to go watch the catch up. I watched the whole season last year one “sick” weekend. I enjoyed it, but I cannot recall specifics.
Its a good production.
Thanks for posting this.
I’m still in Season 1.
It’s a bit dark for my tastes but I find myself drawn in.
It’s hard to judge yet whether Man in the High Castle will end on such a hopeful note, or if it is ultimately setting viewers up for a steep fall. But the lesson for those of us terrified of Trump’s America has to be in those words. Even if we don’t know if we can change the racism, the sexism, the xenophobia or prevent our government's descent into a shameless kleptocracy, we still must fight.
I can only hope they encounter a cliff while looking at the world through the wrong end of the telescope.
The idea seems to be that the regime and the Resistance are fighting for possession of a set of films. The films represent alternative histories, some of which have the Allies winning the Second World War. The Man in the High Castle screens the films for individuals who are key to the different scenarios, apparently so he can intervene in those persons' lives, or something. Maybe it will be revealed, but I don't get how the films were generated or how the past and future can be changed. Good science fiction will at least give the reader/viewer a coherent explanation of premises of that kind.
I’d love to understand why PKD gets the Hollywood treatment over and over again and most other classic scifi authors never get even one. Force of habit at this point? Why branch out when it seems to be successful?
Freegards
There is, however, a serious historical error in the series that bothers me every time I watch it.
When the show’s script has a pro-regime character refer to the German government or its administration of North America, the characters calls the government or the occupiers “Nazi”.
The fact is that real Nazis NEVER referred to themselves as Nazi. It was an insult word used only by opponents. You won’t find a single speech by Hitler or Goebbels that describes their government or their party as “Nazi”.
Nazis always referred to their party and their movement as national socialism. German national socialism was, in fact, their political ideal.
But, of course, nothing coming out of Hollywood can be expected to show the true consequences of socialism.
Is there some way to get season 1 on DVD? I lack the bandwidth for streaming video.
You would enjoy this show.
Were you able to watch the whole first season? It was too depressing for me. I couldn’t get past episode 5.
I just watched The OA on netflix. No really impressed.
