mgenth on The Man in the High Castle

6/10 · Jun 22, 2019

The concept of multiple universes—where quantum events don't create permanently separate realities—is fascinating, especially when considering theories like the "Many Worlds Theory" or Laura Mersini-Houghton’s perspective. It feels almost dreamlike, as if destiny itself is at work. The series expands significantly on its source material, and it does so remarkably well, excelling in its details, scenarios, and characters. When I was younger, I primarily read Philip K. Dick's stories—those filled with unsettling elements—and I can’t even begin to guess how many I encountered forty years ago. Authors like Heinlein or Le Guin, along with works such as *The Stars My Destination*, the Heechee saga, *Dorsai*, and even older space operas by EE Doc Smith and Clifford Simak, seemed to offer a more straightforward vision than Dick’s, especially given the numerous outstanding film and television adaptations—it's difficult to pick out a single "best" version. I don’t typically enjoy dystopian stories or standard TV shows, but this is something entirely different; there are undeniable elements of utopia present. It portrays art, decadence, suffering, and resilience—life in its most complete form. Love is also included, alongside the inherent hero within every child, as a final touch. The series boasts impressive direction, production values, excellent acting, and a good rhythm, creating a strong overall feel that meets and exceeds what one might anticipate. I usually prefer to wait until I’ve seen the ending or at least a couple of episodes before distancing myself from trailers and reviews. I watched it when the chance arose—it's better late than regretful. It was enjoyable watching all three seasons of *The Man in the High Castle* consecutively. My congratulations to everyone involved. With respect.
