The Man in the High Castle - Série 2

I was very satisfied with Season 2. I was worried that it might be a significant downgrade after the first season as is often the case, but despite a few weaker moments I was very pleased overall. I'm sure I've said this before, but the premise is very close to my heart. The writing is excellent and captures the gulf between the two superpowers perfectly. As for the cast, I want to highlight Rufus Sewell, I enjoyed every scene he was in. To sum it up, the season was excellent, I enjoyed it and can’t wait to see the next one. (11/06/2017)

It’s true that the early episodes started off with a slower pace and sometimes duller situations, but for the atmosphere and especially the second half of the series, I have to give it five stars. I took a longer break between seasons, but maybe it was for the best, as it allowed everything to settle properly in my mind. The second season boasts the exact same cast, which drives the series toward guaranteed success. I was once again intrigued by the storyline involving John Smith, and I hope that in the third season we’ll finally learn how he went from the American army to such a high position within Nazi Germany. The plot involving the Japanese, led by Inspector Kid, also holds up well. Action is scarce, but when it does come, it often spares no brutality and surprises the viewer, as it can come out of nowhere and significantly shift the dynamics. The final episodes, especially the last two, were worth it. I honestly thought a third world war was about to break out, so now I just have to wait to see what the creators come up with for the next season. It’s about time to clarify the films about alternative realities (if that’s even the right term). I give it 91%. (04/02/2018)
