Man in the High Castle

Post by Norfolknchance »

It's being streamed as a series on Amazon Prime. I've read the book upon which it is based. Its directed by Ridley Scott so should be good, but how close to the book it is is questionable (cos Bladerunner was so similar to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, yeah right).
Is it worth signing up to Amazon Prime for.

Not sure to put this as a separate thread or in the What are you watching thread.

I never "got" Bladerunner....too dark for me.

Speaking of sci: fi,,...Disney sure is ramping up it"s Star Wars stuff over here,...I h hope they don't ruin it. To be fair, there's been plenty of pisstake skits on Tv......Mickey mouse as Vader, etc.

The plot of The Man in the High Castle is an alternate reality in which The Axis powers won the war, with the US divided between the Nazis and Japan.
