Post The Man In The High Castle (Amazon)

Has anyone else checked this out yet? The entire first season has been streaming since November 20th on Amazon Prime.

I started it a few days ago and it's so good! Incredibly thrilling and cinematic. It's gorgeous to look at and really feels like a ten-part film above anything else. The production value is outstanding in every respect. I know it's already been renewed for a second season but I hope they don't drag it on for too long - it doesn't seem like the kind of show that could sustain a long run given its premise.

The cast is outstanding. Rufus Sewell is the standout but Alexa Davalos and Rupert Evans are also fantastic.

I'd highly recommend it.

Finished the first season. This is a great series and insanely ambitious.. I can't wait to see what happens next as it does end on a rather huge cliffhanger.

It's funny - this and Netflix's "Sense8"' remind me more of "Lost" than any of the 100 clones that came in its aftermath.

4 episodes in and its very good. I love these "what if" revisionist history scenarios and so far im impressed how they have handled the premise. And its brutal too.

Rufus Sewell really kills it here. Though I agree all the cast are good.

Good to see Takeda from Revenge get work here too lol. I like him here.

Finished this last week and have to say - enjoyed it immensely.

Fantastic quality production value (yes it does feel cinematic) and an engaging premise does help give this show an edge over the plethora of TV coming our way.

And as much as i liked Davalos and Evans, the show is always at its best when Rufus Sewell's Nazi or the Japanese police inspector were on the screen.

And that last scene in the final episode.... not sure how they plan to play that one out from here...

I am excited to watch the second season. I hear it is more grim and intense than the first.

Five episodes in. Not really digging this season so far. I feel like it's struggling to build any sort of momentum.

This season is a snooze. A huge step down in quality from season 1. The only storylines that are engaging to me the John Smith family plotlines and Julianna's integration into that world. Everything else is so boring.

I'm on the finale now.
