Watched "The Man in the High Castle" yesterday. Loved it. The pilot is free on Amazon. You don't have to be a prime member to watch it. Make sure you tell Amazon how much you like it so they'll pick up the series . . .

Thanks for the link – just watched it and found it very good. It doesn't follow the book aside from a character or two, but sets up an interesting alternate world. I'd say I enjoyed it, but it was a bit too dark for that. |

Thanks for the heads up! Great show so far. Inspired some gaming ideas even. |

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Hopefully it will make it as a series. I am looking forward to seeing it. Never thought at my age I would find myself watching TV on my computer. |

Yes please check it out and vote for it. Lord knows we don't need another TV series about 3 teenage girls that cast spells. |

Very interesting. Dark (as it should be) and intriguing. How they're handle the deeper elements of Dick's novel is an open (and very difficult) question. I'd watch it. |

@Aapsych20 – thank you ! Had a quick glance and it looks superb. Going to find a quiet hour and watch in detail.

Thing is this is make believe since there would be no way the US loses. |

The premise seems to be that Germany got the A-bomb first, and used it forcing the USA to surrender. That's alternate history, but not completely far fetched. Enjoyed the first episode. Would watch the rest. |

I never read the book, but the first episode seems to imply that the alternate history of the Nazis getting the H bomb(no mention of the A bomb) wasn't supposed to have happened. That someone messed with history. If you've read the book, and that's true, please DON'T tell me without a spoiler alert. . . :-) |

The book is quite different to the first TV episode in style – but the setting is very much the same. It's well worth reading and I won't mention the end. |
