From the beginning, I find it curious that the United States was governed by Rockwell, who was a Reichsmarshall, a military rank. Does that mean that the American Reich was a military government?

In S2, when Thomas was helping Juliana integrate in the Reich and study her civic education, he was talking about a subject which froze Juliana immediately: "the Pre-Reich exterminations", to which Thomas, surprised, asks Juliana "They never told you about the Indians ?"

This sentence only is a huge hint about the series' universe:

- the Nazis were describing the Americans as savages for exterminating most of Native Americans during the 19th century

- the Nazis hid the fact that they continued to exterminate Native Americans by giving discredit to the Americans for doing so. We see in season 4 that the Nazis were also planning to kill the remaining Native Americans in the Neutral Zone and the West Coast

The irony here is that the Nazis were heavily inspired by the US' Manifest Destiny and massacres of the Native Americans to implement the same principle to the USSR after the war, in order to have a Lebensraum.

In one Episode Hermann Goring accepts the surrender of US troops under General Patton. My only theory is that the US military declared Martial Law after the US government was killed off by Nuclear Weapons or died from the aftermath of radiation poisoning or other injuries and found some Federal Judge to allow for this to happen. Happened during December and one woman said she never got done building the bomb shelter when the bomb dropped.

Hey guys, just finished this beautiful series. The ending was quite abrupt but I really enjoyed the other seasons. I find my self empty now and was wondering if you guys have any show recommendations similar to this one. Me personally, this show really reminded me of the sandman show on Netflix (if you haven’t seen it you’d definitely love it)

Thanks!

It’s my first time on this sub but I was doing some research on the show about characters and people really seemed to hate Frank. I adore Rupert Evans as an actor but found his character and Juliana and Joe to be weak leads they have the personality of wet mops lol. I can barely even hear Juliana when she talks.
I get the Smith and Kido being favorites. But I’m curious what people hate so much about Frank. Not that Frank should be considered a fan favorite because like I said as much as I love Rupert Evans I’m just curious because I didn’t care for his character much.

S1 E10:
I’m sorry, what the hell? Frank and Juliana basically discover that Joe is a Nazi while watching the film. Frank and Joe fight over it, and when Juliana confronts Joe, he leans in for a kiss and tricks her into stealing the film—in front of Frank. How did she fall for that and give up the film so easily? How did Frank just accept it? This completely baffles me. I hate Juliana as a fictional character. She then goes to collect Joe from a Nazi embassy, confirming that he is the enemy, and saves his life while disregarding everything Frank has sacrificed.

I must have fallen asleep or skipped a crucial moment but I don’t recall what happened to her!
Also season 4, very disappointing sadly

SDAT 1 = well written arguments and box checks.

SDAT 2 - revision of grammar and box checks nervous.

SDAT 3 - the line is jagged from the ballpoint pin drag on the paper, blood drips, dots.

SDAT 4 - jagged line from the ballpoint pin stronger line values, blood drips.

SDAT 5 - we couldn't read their answers because they bled on the survey like a pillow

I find them hard to relate to and kinda hypocritical. Like they won’t kill Kido but will kill Childan?

And I find it hard to believe that they were easily able to defeat the Japanese even if Japan were overstretching themselves.

And their constant arguments with Liam’s group were annoying.

They won’t last 6 months after the show ends.

Hello!

This is my first watch through binging Man in High Castle, and I was enraptured by the first 2 seasons. I started the 3rd season and felt different vibes, so I went online to read the reception of the show and seasons then reviews and why the tone shifted with the writers/directors/showrunners then I got to spoilers. I almost don't even want to watch the rest of the show, nonetheless S3. I just finished S3E4 where Joe had Tagomi at gunpoint. I might finish this season but wanted to get others' opinions.

I normally don't read spoilers for this reason, but it happened, and now I'm so disappointed. What read online with the reviews and spoilers just enraged me. I read it got rushed, new characters were added out of the blue, others were just left hanging, people were killed, the show was left on a cliffhanger, it shifted to more syfy, and become overwhelimgly woke.

I love sy-fy, but the historical fiction of the first 2 seasons is what was fascinating and hooked me. When S3 felt it was leaning more into that and what I read online, that's not what I wanted. Watching the story of the Nazis and the Japanese was unique and fresh. Smith is the best character in the show. Rupert Evans' acting as Frank Frink was superb. I hated Julianna's character and her acting. Tagomi's story felt drawn out, but I liked him. (I bet he had more screentime not talking than screentime with dialogue lol). Childan even interested me. I did not like Kido at first, but his story made him grow on me. Smith's arch and the story of the Nazis was the best part of the show.

Should I even finish the season/show (if there are others who have the same perspective on the show as I did)?
