The Resistance's greatest hope appears to lie in films which show an alternate reality, a world where the US and its allies won WW2. While largely viewed as propaganda, these films could be more than that. At the centre of the manufacture and distribution of these films is one man, a figurehead in the Resistance: The Man in the High Castle.

This is a full review for all 10 episodes of Amazon's The Man in the High Castle: Season 1. My intention is to keep it as non-spoilery as possible for those who aren't done binging, or who still may be considering binging. For those who have finished all 10, you can head over to The Man in the High Castle "What Did You Think of the Ending?" page here for some of my thoughts about plot specifics.
The Man in the High Castle marks the first time I've reviewed a full season of a streaming show having already reviewed its pilot episode separately (save for Daredevil, where I reviewed every episode). In The Man in the High Castle's case, it was last January during Amazon's first "pilot season" of the year. You can read the pilot review here and see that I hailed the premiere episode as one of the best pilots Amazon's ever done, presenting us with a fantastic and unsettling retro-dystopian "What If?" world. With "unsettling" perhaps being the key word there.
The Man in the High Castle, even with all the suspense and intrigue that comes with it, is a uniquely unnerving experience. And I mean that in the best possible way. This is a long, tragic nightmare that not only gives us a glimpse at a world of crushing cruelty, but also - perhaps - a look at ourselves today and the type of tyranny we might easily give in to, acquiesce to, and what atrocities we might accept in the name of our own personal safety. Without getting overly political, this is both an important show and an important show right now. And it's freakin' haunting. There's a reason Philip K. Dick's 1962 novel made such an impact and stuck with so many people over the years - including series creator Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files, Millennium, The Lone Gunmen). It gets in your gut and just sits there, making you feel somewhat sick.
The Man in the High Castle is stunning and not for the faint-hearted. Naturally, in a story like this, it's the oppressed citizens who are the heroes. But this show also turns the oppressors into quasi-heroes as well. And well-rounded characters. Making things even more terrifying, in fact, since it shows us how easy it is for good people to do mon...
