I enjoyed "Man in the High Castle", both the book and the TV show, but I think "Fatherland" is better Nazi victory book, as well as film.

Would you be interested in watching a TV show based on that book?

lose and withdraw from the former USA was so satisfying

I’m not a fan of Season 4 or the BCR but after all the pain and suffering they inflicted in the show and irl I’m glad they suffered a loss.

And the imagery of the sun setting was so powerful.

I only wish we got to see the Rising Sun Flag burnt or destroyed.

Season 1 and 2 were good apart from Juliana. But 4 is killing me. John Smith seems so different from S1-3 as well.

And not twenty somethings pretending to be teens

It made Thomas’s death and the cultural revolution scenes more poignant.

What if the world and the war in the MITHC goes almost similar to the show’s timeline. America gets bombed to hell, starvation, depression, Axis defeat Russia, Britain, France, Australia, etc but somehow the USA manages to pull off the atomic bomb forcing Germany and Japan to give up on their plans for the occupation of the US. So, the U.S., Canada, Mexico, etc maintain their independence with no land lost with the exception of America losing Hawaii.

So, Germany and Japan still rule most of the world. The US is the ruling influence in the western hemisphere but the country itself is in utter shambles after being overwhelmed by the depression and Axis bombing campaigns. American cities lie in ruins.

What does this world look like by 1962? What does the USA look like? Can it recover?

Both bill and smith are former member of us army signal corp but Smith joins the SS military and bill becomes wehrmacht army officer

I think I missed what ended up happening to him. I hope he died painfully.

I can't skip it fast enough. Rewatching with my wife on Netflix, and SO happy to have the Skip Intro. When I originally watched it on Amazon, I had to manually skip it like a peasant 😕. By the end, I knew exactly how many clicks to get past it.

Let’s hear your ideas!

Mine: a deeper dive into John Smith’s adventures as a single father after he abducts his daughters from Helen , working title ‘Obergrüppenfuhrer Knows Best’

IRL, he was addicted to meth and cocaine, but the series shows him talking normally, what forced him to stop taking those

John Smith dropping hydrogen truth bombs in that diner son..

About Frank’s death or his final words to Ed.

‘Tell Jules I love her.’
