Hey, Dickheads (why, @ᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝, why? )!

Didja hear that there’s a TV series based on PKD’s The Man In The High Castle?

Yeah, yeah, small joke. I know it’s existed, over and done with. What I’d like to know from all 111 of you is whadja think? Did you like it, loathe it, meh’d it?

I followed it up into the 2nd season, I believe, or up into the introduction of Burn Gorman’s character and then I was out. AFAIC, I allowed it a lot of leeway but it couldn’t sustain the interest.

      …I really wanted them to expand on; the scifi aspects.

      Specifically? I’d say TMITHC is one of PKD’s least science-fiction-y, alternative universe aside. So many acronyms. 😵‍💫

    It was an interesting show in the first season but less so if you watched it after 2016. And wow did the ending make the rest of the show feel dumb. I don’t think I’ve seen many finales that retroactively made the series worse.

    Yes, that was as far as I could manage as well. The first season was OK, the second lost me badly.

      Gee. If that’s the case with the majority of the viewership, I wonder how it even made it to season 3?

      I think those like-minded in the audience stuck with it until most of the “worldbuilding” was through.
