Anyone else watching this?  I almost never watch new shows, but wow this is good.  Really unsettling and kind of creepy to watch, but definitely easy to binge.  Will be starting Season 3 this week!

The show is set in an alternate universe where the Axis won WW2 and occupy North America.  It really shows why we can’t take our freedom & liberal values for granted.

It sucks (because it differs significantly from the book, of which I’m a huge fanboy).

I suppose if I wasn’t such a fan of the book I could enjoy it. But I always find myself going THATS NOT WHAT HAPPENED like the joyless nerd I am.

I have not read the book, but that is the case for many book-to-tv stories.  The show has received a lot if critical acclaim though, no doubt about that.  Some great performances too.

I actually thought it's one of PKD's worst books.  I do like the show.  Season 3 was much better than Season 2.  They changed showrunners and i guess that helped.

Season 1 was decent. Season 2 was better. I haven't watched Season 3 yet.

I'll admit to rooting for Heusmann in Season 2.

Hard to sell such a story, vut they did a great job.
