"The Man in the High Castle"

[Kutnupe14]

Anybody seen it? I got an Amazon Prime membership, last month, and binged all the way through the first season. It's a great show. You get drawn in almost immediately.

Here's the trailer:

If you liked that, Amazon uploaded the first episode to Youtube, for free. Enjoy.

Oh yeah, it's loosely based on the book of the same name.

Looks like it might be a good show. Alas, I dropped my prime membership just this month because amazon's ****ty "prime" shipping practices pissed me off too many times.

How so? I have had for 2 years now and love it. Maybe I'm missing something.

I have watched the first two episodes and read the book years ago. I think they have done a fine job with the show.

I liked it a lot. Looking forward to next season.

It's a fantastic time for great series with all the competition out there. Amazon has some good series. I liked Bosch and Mozart in the Jungle also.
What I don't care for with Amazon is their putting out the pilots months and months before the series.

Prime shipping isn't what it once was. It's more expensive for overnight now and they rarely ever ship early anymore. It used to be that weekends mattered less as ordering days. Now you order on Thursday evening and next Wed meets their "two day" shipping commitment.

It has always honked me off that I pay the same Prime price as those in the city who get same day and next day shipping.
While I'm ranting, wanna talk about them giving in to collecting sales taxes when it was not legally required?

I guess they are right though and I'm wrong as I'm still a member. They're still the best game in town.

Yeah, it's a pretty good binge. Even my wife enjoyed it.

Anybody have theories on the films? Are they "fake," as in we're supposed to believe they are legitimate works of fiction, or are they real, but from an alternate universe?

x2. Happy prime user. Mrs Monkey is doing her best to bankrupt me through it. And we get our shipments on time, nearly every time. Including Sundays. The only failures so far have been items catastrophically destroyed in transit. Not just missing, but "dear customer, sorry, but your product was damaged (destroyed) in transit. Your original order was refunded."

My only complaint is the inability to delete music purchases from the master playlist. Bought the wife two musicals that I dont like myself. Now they pollute my amazon music playlist and show up when I try to listen to all of my music. I chatted with support who said they would remove them. they then said they refunded my purchases and they would drop off my playlist shortly. I thanked him and said I didnt want a refund, just for them to go away since I already downloaded the files, but alas english wasnt his first language. (I never got the refund nor did the music go away )

What's yours?

 

[Kutnupe14]

What's yours?

Mine is crazy. I think whoever is producing the films is a time traveler who has witnessed alternate realities. That person's timeline is the one we currently know, and he's probably from the 40's. BUT, I think Hitler knew about this guy or at least the project he was working on, and was able to duplicate it, and spin the world into a Nazi victory.

If you understand this picture, you'll understand the book and, hopefully, the series.

 

[Kutnupe14]

The theory that there are infinite eventualities?

Kut (is stealing from Star Trek)

If people want to discuss how ****ty "prime" purchases are start a thread and post the link here. That's not what this thread is about.

I thought it was a pretty good show. I have never read the book and did not know there was a book until watching the opening credits after a few episodes. I like Kuts explanation of the films. I have never really thought about what or how it could be rather just thought about how I was like "What the %$#@$ is going on."

 

[littletommy]

Ohhhhh (backs away slowly) is it one of those shows where you have to think? Because I'm usually done thinking for the day by the time I sit down to watch tv (kicks rocks like Kirk)

I wish Prime had a monthly pay option. Other than that, it's great. Just not a fan of the hundred dollar hit.

I do what I want!!

I watched the first episode, haven't gotten back to it yet.

Same here. Had some nice visuals but didn't grab me like Jessica Jones did. I think the twist at the end of the pilot left a sour taste in my mouth, it was too cliched.
