The Man in the High Castle

[UlrichFennec]

What do you think would have happened if Hitler had built the nuke first?

I'm not a history buff, but wouldn't that give the Nazis a chance at taking over Russia? If I remember right, they tried invading them in the winter and the plan failed miserably.

If Hitler had reached the nuke first, the world would be vastly different. He was going for it, we just got their first.

The show touched on how it happened in their alternate reality. Nazi's got the nuke before we did, and dropped one on Washington. Pretty feasible if you ask me.

Getting a bomber over Washington does not sound feasible to me. Unless in this reality they invented both radar and the nuke first. And even then, it's a long way to go without getting shot down.

Ok I Think its just OK. I think everyone is in love with the setting and is ignoring how much the storyline is kinda meh.

The story just feels very generic and uncomplicated to me, until the last few ep's of this season I thought it was boring, wasnt on the edge of my seat.

Hopefully they make it a bit more interesting like the last few episodes.

the whole first half is kind of a build up, then stuff starts going down.

the US air forces were probably destroyed, in europe. and then the bomber had a huge escort

Good show, just need to find links that work on kodi for the last two episodes...

[JJe30]

I read the book and really enjoyed it. I had heard a while ago that they were making a series out of it. I shall have to check it out

Anyone who likes this series and also reads books should check out the Axis of Time trilogy by John Birmingham.

[gte175x]

They sure didn't! I started binge watching S1 over the holidays and just finished S2 - great show.

In related news, I recently binged both seasons of Schitt's Creek - which is really funny - and am about to start with Sneaky Pete. Amazon is putting out some really good programming.

[naplesE30]

Watched season 1 and while it was good it didnt live up to the hype imho. It has kept me from starting season 2. This thread may get me motivated to start it. Been enjoying The Americans on Prime and am looking forward to Peaky Blinders and Narcos new season on Netflix.

Been enjoying The Americans on Prime

We started that recently as well. We're only a few episodes in but I dig it so far.
