I don't think that is what they tried to do. The goal was to show that everyone is human, but because the opergrupenfuhrer and his family are the best actors in the show, you feel closer to them, than to the resistance characters.

Amazon is an undemocratic organization where power is wielded by a small minority who are never questioned. They produce a TV show which, glorifies fascism which is undemocratic and which centralizes power in the hands of a small minority who are never questioned. Huh, who would have thought?

I'm about to watch episode three, but so far the Nazi's seem like great people. The only negative so far is that the Japanese are complete ass holes, and they've allied themselves with them.

I'm not sure what this is trying to show me. I'm not even /pol/. I just don't understand. I mean, so far the show is pretty good. But usually they just go straight out with NAZI'S ARE EVIL PSYCHOPATHS.
But so far they've been caring, decent people with manners and an understanding on how to run a government.

>>63032138
Part of it is, "dude cripple burning Tuesday lmao" line aside, the show takes place 15 years after the Holocaust ended and the Nazis old enough to have participated in it have this stoic "I did what I had to do and I don't dwell on it" mentality

It is like you have never heard of Carl Schmitt or something.

no, it's suprisingly unpatriotic, there are some scenes in the first episode, but other than that, it's very played down.

so did you just ignore the other half of that episode that showed his life before being a vampire where he was a pitiful beta and even after becoming a high up Nazi officer he still felt bad seeing that girl get hanged?

Seriously.

That doesn't excuse rape

One can excuse or justify murder but never rape. The Nazis had that in their favor, the Japs and Soviets were much rapier than them.

If they scrapped most of the Resistance storyline and focus more on the Japs and the NatSocs this would be a top tier show.

Tagomi, Kido, John Smith and Wegener have amazing and intricate plots.

Even the Yakuza boss was more interesting than all the Resistance members put together.

>That doesn't excuse rape

What rape, he was going to drain her of blood, what difference does it make where he drains it from?

That scene was pretty much straight from the book and the way it is delivered redeemed much of the show for me.

Not him but I liked it enough. It does have a long storyline about Lucy Mancini getting her vagina fixed because Sonny's massive cock ruined it though.
>>
>>63033142
Heydrich was a lame as hell character. The same can be said for the generic Yakuza boss.

Literally the only antagonists worth a dam were in the resistance.
>>
>>63033172

The Jap Prince and several generals are shifted towards war with Germany by the end of the Season, and not by the action of the Resistance but by the actiosn of Wegener and Tagomi.

The Resistance feel like they are being kept busy by Hitler (the man in the high castle) in a weird scheme.

The only real wild card is Frink whose jewish suffering can shift people into alternate realities.

You will blown away at how likeable the """"villains"""" are and how shitty the resistance is... This would never, ever happen with a major network television show. The leader of the fucking SS in America is the most pleasant, likable character on the whole damn show
>>
>>63033967
I expected this too but Obergrupenfuhrer Smith is literally the most likeable Nazi character in history. In his establishing scene he gets ambushed in his car by machine gun wielding Resistance members, singlehandedly kills them all after they murder his friend in front of him, then gets back to his pleasant home in the suburbs in time to have dinner with his family and advise his son on his homework.

It's surreal.

Yeah, and that's why Man in the High Castle's backstory didn't involve a long painful invasion where the Germans would have been butchered fighting Army and National Guard divisions in every state in the same way the US didn't have to continue island hopping all the way to Tokyo after the bloody horrors of Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

I'm not watching this shit but I have a question: do the japanese speak English on the show?

Because if they do then fuck that shit. There's nothing more unrealistic than a Jap speaking proper English. and I should I know, I've lived in Japan.
>>
>>63035925
They do, but they handwave it as part of the colonial power structure
>>
>>63035925
When they are speaking to other Japs they usually start speaking in Japanese and transition to English.
The Crown Prince does his speech in Japanese though.

>>63033509
It's about how America turned into fascists by themselves and the reality where the axis powers won are just a collective hallucination, because the American people cannot accept how they became the nazis.
