Hey, Dickheads (why, @ᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝, why? )!

Didja hear that there’s a TV series based on PKD’s The Man In The High Castle?

Yeah, yeah, small joke. I know it’s existed, over and done with. What I’d like to know from all 111 of you is whadja think? Did you like it, loathe it, meh’d it?

I followed it up into the 2nd season, I believe, or up into the introduction of Burn Gorman’s character and then I was out. AFAIC, I allowed it a lot of leeway but it couldn’t sustain the interest.

      …I really wanted them to expand on; the scifi aspects.

      Specifically? I’d say TMITHC is one of PKD’s least science-fiction-y, alternative universe aside. So many acronyms. 😵‍💫

          ALTERNATIVE universe?! I’m an idiot sometimes! So, they never did get into the I Ching, “nothing is real”, “go home and live your normal lives” territory? They treated it all as if there wasn’t an alternate universe (sorry if I’m spoiling something for somebody)?

          No…don’t tell me. I’m better off that way.

            Hey, idk. Your comment brought up more questions than answers, so I went ahead and downloaded the book. Maybe I’ll read it sometime and get my answers. I thought the story was leaning heavily on the existence of the alternate universe story and that the source material may have gone further into it, instead of leaving so many plot holes like the show did.
