I expected to love this show. It's based on a book by
scifi author Philip K. Dick. He wrote great books, including
the story that "Bladerunner" was based on. The TV show is
about an alternate reality where the allies lost the war.
Hitler and Japan have taken over parts of the U.S. There's a
small rebel underground. This sounds just like my kind of TV
show.
However, it's not. It's really slow and dull. The writing
is predictable and the characters are cardboard. I only
watched one episode but couldn't take any more. I've read
other reviews where they did like the show but still
admitted that it was very slow. I don't mind slow shows
(like "The Killing") if the characters are intriguing and
the story makes me want to keep watching. This is not
one of those. It was a great disappointment. I've loved all
of the other shows I've seen on Amazon Prime. Skip this one
unless you're really into Nazis and have a lot of time on
your hands.
