    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Man in the High Castle' is lauded for its intriguing alternate history concept, intricate characters, and meticulous world-building. The show's production design, cinematography, and detail-oriented approach are often commended. However, it faces criticism for pacing problems, especially in early seasons, and the addition of new characters deemed unnecessary or underdeveloped. The sci-fi elements, including alternate reality films, are both praised for their intrigue and faulted for their ambiguity. Some viewers are disappointed with character arcs and the direction of later seasons. Despite these issues, the series is widely seen as a visually captivating and intellectually stimulating journey through a grim alternate history.

    A fantastic series

    Enjoyed it from the first minute to last even the worst episodes were above average in my opinion. Rufus Sewell arguably carries a lot of the series and is a real standout! I would have preferred a more complete ending but honestly I don't think it is anywhere near as bad as people made out the majority of questions are answered the only question really raised by the last 60 seconds which was admittedly unneeded. A series done well!

    Nevertheless, it was a great show and I recommend watching it for everyone.

    I watched the fourth season with sheer pleasure. I was afraid that the ending of the whole thing could outgrow the creators, as in the case of GoT and ... unfortunately, it was like a blow with a rusty knife right through my guts. Sigh. I gave 8/10 for the whole series, and the last episode promised to be strong 9/10, but in the last minutes, it fell apart into a dishonorable 3/10.

    beyond impress, stayed up until 2 am on a week day...

    I'm a TV show lover, but never! ever! has a series made me want to write a review. It was a cold Sunday evening... I was waiting for Sunday night football around 645pm. I decided to squeeze in the pilot. Needless to say, 7 episodes later I was still watching. The story line is incredible. The acting is great. The emotions that it brought out of me was real and raw. It made me appreciate and think differently about the word/idea/concept that we all throw around "FREEDOM." Yes, it's fictional, and yes it's just a TV-show, but boy! they hit on something, at least in me. I'm beyond impress! Monday morning, coffee to the rescue!

    Season 3 has strayed from the main plot

    After amazing 2 exciting season with brilliant acting and strong plot..season 3 went down hill by inserting story-lines that try hard to explore some gender orientation which were performed poorly and did not serve the plot or story line at any point..The thrill of those series were centered on the tapes and how they affect the future of Reich or Japan. instead the writers chose to replace it with Homosexual story lines that did not make any sense or relate to the series main actors..I never wrote a review before but because I am a big fan of the series I found season 3 as a slap on the face to the first 2 seasons, those 2 seasons in my opinion were top notch and one of the few series that had a good plot and good performance..Do not ruin it..

    An amazing adaptation of the novel!

    The pilot episode was exceptional. It held my attention and made me believe in such an alternate history.

    I have read the book, and although it is different, it is an incredible adaptation. If the book was turned into a show without any edits, it would be far too complicated and very hard to enjoy (although the book is incredible).

    The acting, story, and visuals are spot on and only intensified what I had imagined when I read the book. When I first read the book, I had hoped for a movie to be made from it, but a show will be a much better pace for such an though-provoking and intelligent story.

    I want more episodes!!

    • Trivia
      Extensive research was done for the cultures, particularly areas such as costuming, technology, and music, to develop an alternate world which merges aspects of WWII Nazi and Imperial Japanese cultures with the cultural progress of mid-1950s America. Although the series is set in 1962, the use of the 1950s for many touchstones suggests the cultural stagnation that would have occurred under totalitarian occupation.
