Trivia
The scenes in Berlin accurately show how Hitler wanted the city to be rebuilt. Most notably it shows the gargantuan Volkshalle which he wanted built. It should be noted though that Hitler's architect, Albert Speer, conducted research on the feasibility of building such massive projects on a city which sits on such marshy soil and determined it was not practical. However Hitler basically said to do it anyway and given that technology is shown to be ahead of where it was in "the real world" during the time setting it's likely they figured out a way to do it.

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 it ...

The first two seasons were good. Suspenseful, but of course, dystopian. Season 3 so far is not good at all, just mostly a steaming pile. Still dystopian, as expected, but throwing a lot of other junk in there that really doesn't "belong" and only serves to make it as stupid as much of the rest of television these days. I'm being intentionally vague because I don't want to have spoilers in here. If they don't get back in stride, then I'll not be watching any more of this junk.
Update: The 3rd season finally picked up some steam. It's still not as good as seasons 1 and 2, but at least it's watchable after you get past the first few episodes of season 3. I hope it will continue to get better, and that season 4 will be more like seasons 1 and 2. It really shouldn't take 3 - 5 episodes of a 10-episode season to get to the good stuff, writers!
