I'm feeling the same way and I'm 5 episodes in and its just no grabbing me. Almost every episode is just like the last one. Its like they're running in circles and the look of the show is so dreary with dreary characters.
Amazon is officially making 'The Man in the High Castle' series based on Phillip K D!ck's Novel
- Thread starter Sensitive Blake Griffin
- Start date
You just watched the best episodes too. It's all downhill from 5-10 (I actually thought 1-4 were pretty interesting, or at least suspenseful). Once they get back to NY the show drags
I liked it

Just finished this up today. It was good, but I'm actually kind of annoyed at people I know that overhyped this as one of the best shows on TV. I expected it to be "GREAT", not just good, so I almost feel like hating the show. I was led to believe it would be on the level of The Knick, Fargo, etc.
To compare it to something similar, I don't think its anywhere near "The Americans". To me its more like "Manhattan" on WGN, crossed with a good Syfy Channel show (Continuum, Defiance, etc.) Those are good shows, but they're not hyped up like this one.
I'm fine with the idea. My problem is that we had to sit through kind of a "love triangle" of people behaving in an irrational and unrealistic way in order to get to an explanation that I kind of predicted just from the show's marketing even before I saw the first episode. The way some of the characters acted in the final episodes made no sense to me at all. The first few episodes establish this as a super-hardcore universe where entire innocent family get wiped of by new and improved Zyklon gas, and where the Nazis torture people to death just to give The Resistance the false impression that they're trying to find out information that they already know.
In this kind of world, nothing about what happens in San Francisco in the later episodes makes any sense. Considering the danger they're in, these are the softest Resistance fighters ever. The absolute worst part was when
I had to put the season finale on pause several times so I could throw things.

I think they're gonna save the films for season 2... I just finished it and im like ....
Is that how hitler won the war by doing what tagomi just did. what the fukk was that?!!?
I mean can you imagine traveling between dimensions and getting back having the jump on the enemy?!?!
The idea seems to be that thanks to "Asian Mysticism," Hitler somehow has access to newsreels from the near future. He then can use the information in the films to change history. I think that's how he knew that the Rudolph was sent to kill him, he saw it in a newsreel created after it happened. The newsreels don't come from "our" version of the future, they come from the future of the timeline that the show is currently in. That's why they showed a bombed out San Francisco in the 1960's. Now that Hitler knows this, he can act to change it (It seems that the San Francisco area is the "source" of his films, so he needs to keep preventing the German generals under him from destroying it.

The newsreel shows that Joe is a Nazi, yet the idiots somehow let him not only keep breathing, but also escape with the film. And then, it gets even worse when the girl (whose is known an suspected by both the Japanese and German authorites) somehow just strolls into an out of the Nazi embassy.

Yeah, some stuff just seemed a little too convenient, mainly in the season finale when Joe was sent to the basement by the Nazi and he doesnt even walk him down there, he was like "Just make sure you go down there to the basement"
Then Joe gets to the bottom door, peeks through and sees the nazis with guns and is like
and just turns around and effortlessly escapes

Hitler himself is "The Man in the High Castle." It looks like he's using the West Coast resistance members to get him artifacts from an parallel universe/alternate timeline/whatever and using that information to change the future. I don't know if they know they're dealing with Hitler, or if they're just as stupid as they look. Somehow Ancient Asian Secrets are involved with accessing the other world.

Anyone who likes that should probably watch "Colony". Although its about aliens instead of Nazis the theme of resistance against totalitarians in the US is similar to this show. I prefer Colony, actually.
