I liked it, but I didn't like the final episode that much. What the fuck was with that ending?

>>63194614

It's obvious that alternate universes exist within the stories canon, that's where the films are coming from, somebody/something is leaking them from one Universe to the other.

Also it's pretty obvious who the "man in the high castle" is when watching the final episode.

>A man who is unquestionably Nazi and devotes himself fully to the cause, and yet it is extremely hard not to back him.

yeah, its almost like the Nazi's were real people instead of one dimensional comic book villains.

No this is what I am saying. Maybe I am not making myself clear, sorry english is not my main language.

I was saying I liked how they didn't do the whole "hurr nazis are super duper evil" thing. However I think they made them seem /too/ reasonable. Like, I was wondering why anybody on the east coast would rebel. Quality of life seemed very good.

>One criticism I would have is that it paints Hitler and half of the Nazi higher ups as good guys.
Most were either trying to start a war with Japan where millions would die and Hitler wasn't interested in it. Hitler's more of a background character, it's really centered on John Smith and his choices.

>"hurr nazis are super duper evil" thing
Most of the wartime atrocities happened off screen. They mentioned a 'camp' like the one they said the jewish bookkeeper had escaped from to the neutral zone. The marshall was also a crazy fuck and a nazi.
>Quality of life seemed very good.
For most, but even John Smith has to contend with possibly euthanizing his son because of his incurable disease. Anyone with a handicap is most likely put to death in the reich.
Also the resistance is still loyal to america but they literally do nothing except get the films.

Just finished the final episode. The whole alternate universes thing was really predictable however I don't understand how they can move between universes.

Also in the first episode, or maybe it was the second, there was a soldier who fought for the allies that said something along the lines of "I don't remember why we fought in the war" so I was thinking there was some kind of mind altering weapon that was used or something along those lines

The Heisenberg device mentioned is obviously how the parallel universe can be observed.

no it's a meth maker XD

Seemed very good in this tv show? Yeah it would be good, if you were white.

>>63194829
John Smith believes the camps were necessary during the war.
How exactly does that make him a good nazi?

Just found out there's no sequel to this book. That's really dissapointing would love to see the show go on.

Not really sure what story line you could follow though, maybe some kind of leaks between the alternate worlds?

>the show doesn't demonise Nazis

I find it kinda refreshing. It's fucking absurd to keep portraying them as devils in 2015, 70 years after the war.

>>63195845

Nah there'll be a season 2. Don't worry.

>>63196121

Yeah and rather than a dystopia, the standard of living actually rose, check out them supersonic airliners!

>>63196415

Yea I was thinking that. Fuckers have got concords in the 1960's.

What happened to Tagomi in the last scene? Did he actually cross into an alternate 1962?

>>63196534

Yea, It was heavily implied that that Japanese magic had actual weight to it in this universe (the woman saying the broach came from someone with much sorrow etc...). I think it was Tagomi entering a meditative state that let him see into the alternate universe.

>>63194758

I noticed that too.

There were basically 4 types of Nazis.
>those that spoke out/refused (they're dead)
>those that can't live with themselves
>those that did what they did knowing it was fucked up, but loyalty let them do it and loyalty gets them through the day
>the sick fucks that enjoyed what they did
