So I checked out the pilot to the new Amazon series, The Man in the High Castle. It's set in the USA about 15 years after hte NAZI's and Japan won the war and occupied the USA. I read some of Philip K. Dick's stuff back in the 90's ... you know, the dark ages ... but I didn't know about this one. Not bad. It's hard to judge these Amazon pilots, but this one looks promising if they can imprint a clear narrative. So many of these sandbox type TV shows get lost and turn out boring. I guess my one big worry is that none of the characters really stood out for me as being special ... they were kinda boring if I'm being honest.
I'm not 100% sure what's going on here, but it seems there might be something else going on. The newsreel footage showed the events at the actual end of the war. And we're supposed to believe that int he space of 15 years, everyone just forgot? I dunno ... I was thinking this was going to turn into some kind of Fringe type alternate universe type reality. I really dunno. Definitely worth a further look I reckon.
