Now that we know the characters and the basics of the story, "The Man in The High Castle" can get with the action. And "Sunrise", the second episode does a good job on improving on the premise introduced in the pilot, and on hooking us on the story. And if it continues like this in the next episodes we are in for a ride, full of fear, violence and paranoia.
If the pilot put the stones from which the building will be made, "Sunrise" does a good job to show us more about the three principal characters (in the review I did of the pilot, I kind of left Frank Frink, played by Rupert Evans, in the background; my bad). And it does it in a great way. Juliana Crain keeps her search for the truth behind the films, Frank Frink gets into trouble, big trouble, with the Japanese, and Joe Black keeps with his mission. All of three are becoming rapidly quite interesting, and Rupert Evans does a great job in this episode showing his doubts, his fear, and how a person, who just wants to keep going, finds themselves in a position where they have to choose, even if they don't want to. In "Sunrise" the actions centers specially around he and his feelings, and the episode is the better for it. And all around this, the Man in the High Castle, who made the films, of whom we still don't know much about.
The Man in the High Castle is not scared right now in putting their characters in ambiguous situations. Let's keep it that way.
