Coarse means cruel and unkind...

Warning: Spoilers
It seems really worked on hard, though I am not saying that this is better than the work of the master Philip K. Dick that is the author of the book this series is based on. Adaptations are always hard and alterative. Still, it looks well enough to convince us of the world they are portraying.

The actors started rather promising. I especially have high hopes for Ms. Alexa Davalos. We will see...

I'd continue by saying that this is not an original idea. The ones who had gone through the war(s) must had had enough of thinking and been wondering about what would it have been if it wasn't for American decision makers who bombed the Japanese lands and killed off the Nazis in the Europe when they entered the WW-2.

So, what is original is they filmed the idea so dark that anyone who watches the first episode will think of the calamity befall on the Americans, or the calamities did befall on the Japanese and the rest of the half of the world who has been suffering ever since the USA had risen to the top.

I am a man with a merciful heart, therefore I do not ever want to see any nation suffering under cruelty. Never!.. And this episode shows it -not better than the real war that goes on on every corner of the Earth namely Syria, Iraq, Arakan, etc., but still,- pretty well.

I give this episode a "8,25." Not bad, not better. Yes.

Heil not Hitler, but all the good people all around the world!

Here is a saying from my culture on cruelty:

'Harithah ibn Wahb reported: The Messenger of Allah (that is Mohammad), peace and blessings be upon Him, said, "He will not enter Paradise who is coarse and conceited."

Harithah said, "Coarse means cruel and unkind."
