Has anybody been watching this instead of Jessica Jones?
It's rather a lot less lazy in its construction of a fascist America than that cringe-inducing Pledge of Allegiance from the trailer (which is never used in the show) suggested.
Quite a lot of heavy differences from the book, though. Much less in the way of pawnshop shenanigans for example. And that the films are implied to come from other realities.
I tried it.
As a german I can say that this is insulting me. It's american trash. I tried around 20 minutes of it. Then skipped through the first and second episode. No thanks.
Binge watched the whole thing yesterday.
Some of the plotlines went nowhere (like that fookin legend Marshall guy) and the main heroine Juliana was irritating as fuck in her naivety while the main hero Joe was blander than vanilla
But the overarching B plots like the political tensions and maneuvering between the Japanese and the Nazis or Reinhard Heydrich's coup, and the supporting cast like the Obergruppenfuhrer, the Kempeitai inspector, and the Trade Minister really carried the show. 7/10 would watch another season.
>tfw the actual Man in the High Castle himself was justHitler trolling everyone by both ordering the SS to recover the films from the Resistance, and ordering the Resistance to deliver the films to him under the guise of the Man in the High Castle in exchange for bits of useful info on the Nazis, so that he gets the films whether the SS or the Resistance succeeds

There's only, like, four named Germans in the whole show. One is a traitor who leaks the design for the H-bomb to Japan because he regrets exterminating people, one is Rudolf Heydrich, one works for Heydrich, and one is Hitler. All the rest of the Nazis are Americans.
oh boy another Netflix shill thread
>>62905268
I'm surprised you were able to borrow the TV from mohommed for 20 whole minutes
>>62905386
>Netflix
kek
Everyone waiting for torrents, because ain't nobody buying an Amazon Prime subscription just to watch this.
>>62905398
why you gotta hate on mohommed he does a lot of good in the community
he fucking lets people borrow his tv for pete's sake
>Texas is nazi
I kind of expected that.
The strange thing is how Mexico and Canada managed to not be annexed.
>>62905268
>I'm t..t...triggered!
i'm about to start this show, i've been waiting for something like this forever it better not be shit
>>62905165
The thing about the map is that the original book was never really precise on exactly where the boundaries fell.
The Nazis and the Japanese didn't actually win WW2. The whole thing is just a mass delusion because the people of America can't accept that they became fascist and evil on their own. There, I just spoiled it for you.
>>62905165
It was nothing like my /pol/ fantasies. I was disappoint.
>>62905165
I'm up to episode 6 right now, OP
I like the show a lot, but watching those Jewish kids get gassed was one of the most insane things that I've watched on a TV show
Is this show actually good? Like The Americans or Fargo good?
>>62906766
no it feels more like network tv somewhat
hitler dundu nuffin wrong
he was a good painter
he just tryin' to get lebensraum for the ubermensch
yo where dem torrents at
>>62907153
tfw no hd rips
>>62905947
how can you just pretend one half of your country is ruled by gooks and the other half is ruled by krauts
>>62907184fluoridation
>>62907184
its not the actual spoiler the source materials ending is even worse, actually scratch that you cant even call it a technical ending
Trade minister is the best character.
Couldn't get through the insanely generic pilot
It's weird how you could make such an interesting concept so dull
hitler was personified evil, National Socialism and Right Wing Politics are created by the devil!.
feel bad for jews to hide the fact they are sick fucking people barely any better than extremist muslims.
>>62907471
Well they aren't wrong
Any show with DJ Qualls in it is shit tier garbage.
>>62907471
National Socialism is a leftist ideal, though.
>>62907494
why is she so beautiful bros
>>62905165
So did the Axis win and actually start controlling the US? Because that's the only thing that interests me about it.
>>62907631
US is split between west coast jap rule and east coast nazi rule, with a central neutral zone. The best past of the show is the tensions between the japs and the nazis over Hitler's impending death and the nazis invading jap territory.
>>62907714
See, that's sounds great. But now I'm hesitant because of the idea that the Allies actually won and they're in an alternate universe or something. I'm worried they're going to pulls some bullshit like melding the two universes together so that the Axis loses.
Just finished watching it, fucking urghhh it was alright, only deserves an 8/10 but some how a jew survives an entire time while everyone knows hes a jew
>>62908702
it's worth the watch don't get me wrong, just prepare to get annoyed at some poopoo plotholes
>>62905333>>tfw the actual Man in the High Castle himself was just Hitler trolling everyone by both ordering the SS to recover the films from the Resistance, and ordering the Resistance to deliver the films to him under the guise of the Man in the High Castle in exchange for bits of useful info on the Nazis, so that he gets the films whether the SS or the Resistance succeeds
you're wrong btw
>hitler was a good guy
>it's all just a dream
tippity top kek.
still good though.
DAT ENDING THO
based trade minister
I wish they hadn't introduced Heydrich. Having a purely evil character really makes Smith less interesting.
>>62908796
>>62908934
I'm so confused with the ending, someone please {/spoil tag for me what it means
>>62909081
Alternate history is unknowable and could be better or worse, so there's really no point in doing anything but focusing on the reality you live in.
Trying to predict the future is as futile as trying to find alternate pasts, as demonstrated by Trade Minister's repeated fuckups with the I Ching and handing off the Heisenberg plans.
>>62908771
Explain? Hitler lives in a high castle, and the Man is known to not make the films, just collect them.
>>62905165
>mfw ambushing Jap and Nazi patrols in the wilderness of Montana or set up booby trap Vietnam style.
Why would any able-bodied white person stay in the Pacific States? If you don't mind living in a police state, you might as well go to the East Coast, where at least you're not a second-class citizen. If you don't like living in a police state, you might as well go to the Neutral Zone.
>>62910049
Jews seem to have it slightly easier in the Pacific States than in the Reich, the Japanese are much less rigorous about enforcing the race laws.
>>62908702
>"alright"
>8/10
What are you, IGN?
If it's alright I won't bother, but 8/10 is fucking great.
>>62909244
I don't get the end was the trade minister in the real past when the US wins the war the whole time?
>>62906766
I like it. I'm about half way through and plan to finish it, so take that for what it's worth.
why is obergrupperfuhrer the best character
>>62909754
*with your communist friends
The west coast looks better... Its already covered by asians nowadays. At least the Japanese are a proper people. Chinese shit in public you know?
Currently on ep 3 and I'm enjoying it, but do they ever explain why it's 1962 in the show but all the technology and even the fashion is still stuck in the WW2 era? Twenty years have supposedly passed since the end of the war, yet nobody got around to updating cars or trying a new hairstyle?
>>62905165
>mfw I'm glad I live in weeb territory & not h8 land.
>>62905165
>Be white blue eyed german who lives in minnesota
Not much would change other than somalis getting the fuck out
>>62916289
The technology has advanced considerably and I suppose non-fascist fashion was considered degenerate. The background news talks a lot about how far the space program has come.
Also to soothe the /pol/ friends here, enjoy a complaint about a show about a Nazi dystopia being too white.
>>62907757
This ain't fringe nigga
Every time 'Greater Nazi Reich' appears on screen it triggers me. It should be 'Greater German Reich'
On one hand this show is very well done.
On the other all the Japanese/German soldiers seem to be dressed exactly like they were in the 1940's. Sometimes they carry different guns, other times they have bolt action rifles.
I guess it's due to the budget limitations of the show. It's easier to hire a bunch of Nazi uniforms than design and produce updated ones.
>>62916289
Remember that Hitler considered modern art degenerate and a tightly state controlled society would be more utilitarian.
>>62905466
Does CCCP really > NSDAP?
>>62917493
I do like how the German soldiers sometimes carry H&K weaponry, since it's the closest we have to an evolution of the StG-44
