The Man in the High Castle is a TV series that ran for 4 seasons. It aired in 2015. At first, I didn’t think I would enjoy it because I’m not particularly fond of war movies. However, the title intrigued me, so I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, I ended up really liking it. It wasn’t the kind of war movie I expected.

This series, loosely based on Philip K. Dick’s novel of the same name, explores what the world might have looked like had the outcome of World War II been different. In this dystopian scenario, the Axis powers won the war, leading to the United States being divided into three parts: an area controlled by the Japanese, a Nazi-controlled section, and a buffer zone between the two. Despite the oppression, a new hope emerges when films turn up that seem to show a different world. A woman believes the films contain the key to freedom and is determined to find their mysterious guardian. (Google)

Rufus Sewell, Alexa Davalos, and DJ Qualls, three of my favorite actors, star in the series, along with others. They were all great actors. The movie was intense, and the characters the actors played were brilliant, especially Rufus Sewell’s and Joel De La Fuente’s.

For a movie I didn’t expect to enjoy, I ended up watching it several times.
