The expert editing keeps the pace up as the story dashes from place to place, but there are moments where this work really shines, particularly when acting as a way to juxtapose life in the Reich vs life in the Resistance. There’s something for everyone this season, and though it’s a slow-burn drama compared to some shows on TV today, the 10-episode watch is well worth your time. Read full review

Netflix might be the dominant streaming service player when it comes to original series, but quantity never trumps quality, as Man proves. The detail in imagining New York City as a Nazi stronghold remains extraordinary, from the skyscrapers bearing the flag of the Third Reich down to the swastika ice sculpture dripping at a fancy party.

The third season makes further efforts at relevance, working in new storylines about homosexuality under Nazi reign, but as with the universe-jumping the series now relies on, such efforts don’t really work when they’re not grounded in something more personal and character-based. Read full review

In Season 3 there are moments of joy, moments of hope, but in the long run it’s a show about unchecked hatred that doesn’t offer much in the way of solutions, because maybe it knows there aren’t any. It doesn’t destroy the idea that action is ineffective. It even offers its characters some moments of triumph. But it also doesn’t pretend that the path to rebellion is easy, and that average people are able to find it. Read full review

High Castle mostly slogs through a 10-episode third season without successfully fusing its best parts into a compelling whole. [1-14 Oct 2018, p.11]

No spoilers but just a quick comment on the quality of the acting/actors, massive story plot and the fact that the story is not spoon fed to the audience. Thanks amazon for doing an excellent job,

Another solidly written season, with performances to match from the cast. This season was a bit faster paced and there is a bit more action, but not so much that the series has become “The Man in the Die Hard Castle.”

I’ll definitely binge this again on a long weekend.

Picks up well and builds on the previous seasons, slow at first but builds compelling arcs for the characters and brings some things to an end, subverting expectations.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great season! this one is packed with more action than the previous ones and anwers even more questions than season 2. There are some things i didnt like about this one and is why bring back Hank just to kill him again and also killing Joe so soon, i think both characters had more to give to the show.
Anyway good season and it was worth the wait, i hope amazon brings season 4 faster.… Expand

Dark, depressing, but amazingly well done adaptation of the PKD novel. Season 3 continues its breakneck pace of complex plots and characters as the stakes get higher.

Season 3 continues its breakneck pace of complex plots and characters as the stakes get higher. The immersion is breathtaking as the whole show actually transports you into a complete alternate universe where the Axis powers won the war.

As usual its the characters that carry the show. John Smith is the best of these, a complex man who is truly evil, yet somehow has that spark of redemption due to his devotion to his not so perfect family, and could be the key to the whole story (assuming he survives).

Robert Childan, who normally serves as comedic catharsis to such a depressing show actually takes on a dark turn which I hope will not last. Juliana serves as the main protagonist, yet she is somewhat standard fare compared to the other, more complex characters- she needs to get more interesting, hopefully in the next season.

All in all, well done.… Expand

As with previous seasons the setting and style are amazingly well done. Plot and screen writing however are more pointless than ever. It’s just a mish mash or what ifs and would be much better as a series of twilight zone style one off episodes than an attempt at some sort of epic story arc.
