Amazon is getting ready to launch a bunch of new shows and one of them is The Man in the High Castle! There's also an American Civil War drama on the list.

Man in the High Castle is a must read for fans of Alt history and/or Phillip K. Dick. It will be interewsting to see how the moviemakers handle the whole 'Grasshopper lies Heavy alt-history fiction within an alt-history fiction' premise of the story.

Watched this last night and I was highly impressed. Very well done, stylish and does a great job at creating a believable occupied America. For bonus points, it's downright creepy seeing the swastika integrated into everyday American symbols.

That's good to hear! It is getting good reviews. I need to watch this ASAP.
On the other hand, the Civil War drama is getting very bad reviews. :(
