Amazon Prime members- The Man in the High Castle is on this weekend

[NewJeffCT]

at least the first two episodes. A new series from Amazon based on the Phillip K Dick alternative history story of the Axis winning World War 2 and the US as an occupied country in 1962- the eastern US is part of the Nazi Reich and west of the Rockies is Japanese.

The first half of the first episode so far is very interesting.

1. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm not an Amazon prime member, but as a fan of the book, I'll be looking for this series.

2. never read the book

but, I guess the one difference I read about was the Grasshopper Lies Heavy is a newsreel on the show, but a book within a book in the book. (if that makes sense)

3. second episode was pretty intense as well

very dark

6. Yes. The part about the sister was fairly depressing.

And then the guy says "I'm not a monster".

[NewJeffCT]

7. Yes

I already had a bad feeling when I saw the plastic covers on the furniture...

4. I watched the Pilot are the episodes different?

I liked the Pilot a lot and was looking forward to when they had more episodes.

5. the 2nd episode continues from the end of the first

the entire series will be available in a month.

8. If you have AP (I do) do you have to pay for each episode?

I went to AP the other day to catch up on a program that I had missed the fall premier and it was $1.99 for the episode.

9. Not for Amazon originals

You have to pay for some teevee shows if they are not Prime.

[NewJeffCT]

10. It depends

the original amazon shows like The Man in the High Castle, Transparent, Alpha House, etc are free. Some other shows (previous seasons of network shows) are often free as well.
