"The man in the high castle" tells the story of a world where Germany and Japan have won the second world war and now face a new era in their relationship as Hitler is about to die, leaving especially the divided continent of America in turmoil. In this world, different characters on different sides of history try to find their way and do what seems right to them.I didn't read the book, however I thought that the premission sounded interesting and so me and my girlfriend gave it a watch. The major issue of this series is that there is almost no-one you can bond with. I pretty much hated all the characters in the end and don't even get me started on the main hero Julianne who kills more resistance fighters than the whole Nazi regime over the episoded but is somehow depicted as a saint. There's a time-travelling Japanese guy, a fact that is never explained, a guy producing films that are obviously important as it seems, even though I still don't get why and some unfriendly characters that are supposed to be the good ones. Let's just say it's not a good sign for a series when the option of one of the heroes getting shot seems more like a relief than a tragedy.All in all this is simply not good. There are better approaches in relation to WWII, there are better resistance films and series and better scripts. It still is professionally produced and probably not even bad acted but it leaves a lot (!) of space for improvement.

Philip K. Dick's only novel to win a Hugo award was "The Man in the High Castle" (1962). The story depicts an alternate version of 1962 America where the Axis powers have won World War II and and divide the United States into a Nazi-controlled East and a Japan-run West. Publicity for the first season ramped up when the advertising campaign got pulled after they covered an entire New York subway with Nazi and Imperial Japanese imagery as seen in the show. The first season received critical acclaim regardless.
