    The Man in the High Castle

    Daughter recommended it to me. On episode 4 of season one.
    Its good in a scary, disturbing way.
    What gets to me the most are the US citizens that so quickly adapted to the Nazi society, almost as if they welcomed it.
    I can see that in some people that I know. Makes it a little to close too reality.

    I always liked that book better than Electric Sheep.

    Peace,

      I tried the pilot episode, but it seemed too 'hokey' for me.
      "Reason and facts are sacrificed to opinion and myth. Demonstrable falsehoods are circulated and recycled as fact. Narrow minded opinion refuses to be subjected to thought and analysis. Too many now subject events to a prefabricated set of interpretations, usually provided by a biased media source. The myth is more comfortable than the often difficult search for truth."

        I was thinking the same at first, but after the second episode I was hooked.

          I just finished watching season 2. I really liked season 1 and I thought season 2 was better.

                I just finished episode 5 last night. Or was it 6? Anyway, an explanation comes up for why people seem so well adapted.

                We hadn't been watching tv at all lately but right now we are in the middle of Victoria, The Affair and Homeland, as well as High Castle.

                  My great uncle was a member of the German American Bund. My dad actually went to Kamp Siegfried when he was a young boy. Of course to him it was just summer camp.
                  He told me about this not long before he passed away at age 87. Ironically he fought the Nazis in WW2 as a Sargeant in the artillary.
