I'm befuddled why this does not have a thread so there it is.

No, I haven't seen this, but I will. It sounds like a live action Castle Wolfenstein. Reviews have been great for season 1.

How does this not have a thread? :D

It sounds like a live action Castle Wolfenstein.

It's based on a alt-history novel by Philip K Dick and it will likely fuck with your head. It is not anything like a live action Wolfenstein. :D

[Morris Schæffer]

Oh, I saw the trailer and know it isn't, but for some reason it evokes something about Wolfenstein reading the premise.

[Sycophant]

Because swastikas everywhere.

Wish this show was better.

[Ezee E]

Heard good things. I should watch it.

Just started this. Enjoying it. WILDLY different than the book, but that's OK. The book was never one of my favorites from Dick, and a faithful adaptation wouldn't make for an exciting television show.

Well, now that I have actually begun to watch this, more than a year after I started this thread, I will say that season 1 is wonderful stuff so far. Some dumb things happened in episode 3 with the Burn Gorman bounty hunter character, but goddamn what a premise! And the execution and production values totally sell the illusion of an America conquered by the Nazis and the Japanese.

And I maintain what I said earlier, that I detect faint traces of Wolfenstein and even Fallout in this.

English actor Rufus Sewell makes a great bad guy.

Into season 4 right now. Its last season, and it looks like it's going out on a huge high. Love the stuff with John Smith. Production values are fantastic.

Good stuff.
