Quotes

Mark Sampson: I don't plan on dying, Frank. But you can't live your life in fear. I was back east at the end of the war, in Boston.
Frank Frink: Oh, Jesus.
Mark Sampson: Yeah. You had to see it to believe it, Frank. Overnight, lynch mobs were murdering Jews because suddenly we were less than human.
Frank Frink: And what did you do?
Mark Sampson: Well, those of us who came out in one piece. We buried service weapons underground, well wrapped in oil, and we vowed revenge. I got a life to lead, got kids to raise. And Hitler and the Nazis - I mean, I don't care how...

AMAZEBALLS! When is the next episode?!?!?
25 January 2015 | by See all my reviews

Having not ever heard of The Man in the High Castle, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I LOVE alternative reality things.This one is very compelling. Sort of Fatherland on a much grander scale.

The production was spot on, the acting brilliant. By the end of the pilot I found myself fully invested in the characters ready to binge watch the living crap out of the show. Luke Kleintank plays it very straight in a more than convincing young lad. Alexa Davalos' character has probably got the most to lose. It's REALLY nice seeing a strong female character in a role outside of "she's a mother AND a cop!" in television.

If this doesn't get picked up for a series there will be much gnashing of teeth and cries for the stubbing of toes of horrible horrible people who wouldn't know a great TV show if it punched them in the face.
