I just finished watching the first season.  Really amazingly conceived and visualized.  Nicely done Amazon.

Yeah I thought it was great, although Juliana was a little annoying by the end.

I'm halfway through the series I think it's pretty good.  Awfully dark. Also, I'm currently rereading the novel.

Series is well done and kept me interested through out. Oddly unfulfilling in the end

Yeah, she needs to stick with the hard resolved act.  Frank's character came a long way.  The Trade Minister is my favorite character I think.

Kind of slow at times. But the season finished so well. It got me more excited for season 2 than I was at any point watching the rest of season 1.

It's The Man in the High Castle, isn't it?

Either way, I can't wait for season 2.  Between that and The Grand Tour (the new Jeremy Clarkson/James May/Richard Hammond show), Amazon's streaming service is starting to look legit

Now if only they would make an Android TV app...

Masterpiece.  The novel and the series are two different animals, though.

The novel is a day in the life of occupied America.

The series pits the evil nazis against the plucky American resistance.  It's different, but still manages to capture some of the spirit of the book.

Really enjoyed season one. I'm totally curious as to who the title character is. Recently bought the book and added it to my "to read" stack.

I really wanted to see it but kept falling asleep.
 
However, I did finish Stranger Things in one night, so there's that...

Fell asleep because it didn't hold your interest? Or because you were just really tired?

I'm three-quarters through Stranger Things ... very intriguing story.
