Title: The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime

If you're a fan of Philip K. Dick and/or Ridley Scott and you have Amazon Prime, check out the adaptation of The Man in the High Castle, based on Philip K. Dick's 1963 Hugo Award winning novel of an alternative earth where the Axis powers won WWII.

I watched the first episode on Friday and I think Team Ridley created a fantastic world based on the novel. I'm less sold at this point on the characters and story but it is such a strange book to begin with many, many changes had to be made. My main concern is three of the main characters are so young compared to the novel. I'm surprised they didn't just get talking babies to take the leads.

Having never read (or heard of) the book, I came to it with no biases.

I found it excellent.

I was hoping that would be the case!
