So is Mad Dogs.

I saw The Man in the High Castle last night. Couldn't stop watching it.

I like the way it is done: gritty with an "1984" feel to it.

It also has a great deal of "mystery" to it, if you know what I mean. Things happen with little explanation: People being arrested; a woman running off with someone else's bag; a jet flying overhead; a suspicion that what is happening shouldn't be happening...

I hope they can keep up the quality and writing.

Glad to hear the news on Man in the High Castle and Mad Dogs.

JesseCuster

This could truly be something special with The Man In The High Castle. This is like The Forever War, The Foundation Trilogy or The Martian Chronicles (ignoring the noble but falling way short TV miniseries). Mythic science fiction works that have never been properly done or even attempted.

For those who would like to watch the full premier episode of The Man in the High Castle, it can be seen on YOUTUBE.

Enjoy.

Looks to be free right now, watched it tonight. Based a Philip K. Dick story. Wow, terrific show. Even my wife, who has steered clear of most Netflix/Amazon produced show, really got into this one. Set in a post World War II 1962, except Germany and Japan won the war, and divided up America among themselves. So far, only the pilot is available, but cannot wait for the rest of the series.

Orbi-Wan Techno

Dur. Just saw that it's been available since January. Do not know how I missed it!

Some additional discussion: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/tv-talk/624...ot-season.html

Orbi-Wan Techno

Thanks. Got excited, didn't realize it had been out a while...

RichC2

Understandable, not exactly heavily promoted. It's was the diamond in the rough for this years Pilot Season.

johnnysd

Well not bad timing though as it went to series so probably an announcement soon as to when it premieres.

Coladar1

So (apparently) episode 2 is going to be shown at Comic Con... and (also apparently) streamed online? I've only seen mention of this regarding Entertainment Weekly's website, however. Does anyone that maybe has a bit more knowledge about this have anything more/more concrete?

Is it only going to be some "live streaming" deal where you either see it or miss it? And only on EW.com (not even Amazon?!?) Seems... insane, to me, that this incredibly hyped and anticipated series for a *pay* Internet streaming content service is going to have the very first second offering given only to some magazine's website, months in advance.

Because that leads to my final question: How to watch. Anybody with experience on EW.com's "streaming content"? Is this going to be some deal where I've got to watch it in a browser, meaning not necessarily on my "smart" TV in glorious big screen HD? While I don't mind being forced to watch it at 10-11 pm tomorrow night only, I *really* don't want to think I'll end up watching on my tablet due to not wanting to spend hours setting up/figuring out how to somehow get a browser live video stream to display on my Samsung TV.

(And, just in case this should be news to anyone/I didn't miss some other thread discussing this, one of the articles from EW mentioning this news: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/06/man-in-the-high-castle-comic-con-stream )

That gave me goosebumps. Can't wait.

Just watched the first 2 episodes of The Man in the High Castle this weekend. It's pretty good and I'll looking forward to more episodes.

aktick

I really enjoyed it too, despite

But the subject itself has me intrigued enough that I'll definitely be checking out the whole season in November.

Neitzl

Agreed about that ambush. I also thought, why not try to take him alive and get info out of him? Oh well I am liking the show and will stay with it.

Jackskeleton

The music in this is what's really selling me as well as the look. It's very unique in the style. Can't wait to see more of it.

writer106

I agree, those factors are the selling points. I think this show will turn out better than Hand of God.

mphtrilogy

New pilot season now live....

Checking out the patriot... Not bad so far...

Axeramm

Watched Edge with Max Martini and Yvonne Strahovski. Loved it.

dfmaverick2

Have tried out Edge and Good Girls Revolt thus far. Liked both but was surprised that I'd prefer GGR to be picked up between the two. I love Strahovski and westerns, so Edge has that going for it; however, I like the music and many of the actors on GGR.
