TV Review: The Man in the High Castle - Season 1 (2015)


An interesting series especially for people like me who are passionate about history.

It discusses an alternate history where the US and its allies have lost World War 2. Germany and Japan have conquered US and have divided it up between themselves such that the Eastern half (everything close to the Atlantic) is being controlled by Germany and the Western half (everything close to the Pacific) is being controlled by Japan. There is a small area (around Kansas) which acts as the buffer area and is called Neutral zone.

The plot revolves around the underground resistant forces who are fighting against both the occupations and the rising tensions and friction between German and Japanese authorities.

One criticism that I have is that the story has only been focused on USA so far. I would like to know more about the happenings in the rest of the world in the next season, especially the geopolitical situation in Asia and Africa.
