Always been a fan of historical fiction apparently the pilot for this has been out since January . Amazon released a trailer for the entire season last month. Will have to check it out and get the book.

This new Amazon show called "The Man in the High Castle" explores what would have happened if the Allies had lost World War II. It's based on a Philip K. Dick novel from 1962.

The hour-long drama stars Alexa Davalos ("Mob City"), Luke Kleintank ("Pretty Little Liars"), Rupert Evans ("The Village"), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa ("Mortal Kombat Legacy"), and Rufus Sewell  ("Eleventh Hour"). Ridley Scott is executive producer.

It streams on Amazon Prime this fall.

I highly recommend reading the book. There was suppose to be a follow up book for the series but there never was. There really is no true ending to the book, nothing is resolved, so I look forward to seeing how it plays out. I've been waiting for Amazon to put this series out ever since it aired during Pilot season.

I watched the pilot episode a few months ago when Amazon tested the waters on like seven or eight new shows. It was pretty good, but the production quality was clearly lacking. Hopefully they've got a bigger budget behind it now that they're producing a full season. I'm going to keep an eye out for it.

I read all the WorldWar books, where aliens show up to colonize Earth in 1942 and hilarity/chaos ensues. Love that stuff.

I love turtledove, especially the Videssos cycle, but I have to admit I wasn't a fan of that particular series.  Stopped after the first book.  Although the idea of aliens getting addicted to a Chinese spice was amusing.

the first few books are pretty good - one of the problems is that there are soooo many subplots, so a lot of the book is reviewing prior events and people to help keep everything straight. I am a big WWII history buff  and it was great to see a story that showed the events unfolding all over the world at a particular time.

      Best way to Stream

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      XL went to one of the worst teams in the NFL.  One that features a weak passing O and bad overall QB play on the season.   XL is getting way too much hate IMO.   He had an okay rookie season all things considered.   Very much on par w/ prospects that projected around the same area with him.   Panthers made a 2nd rounder a first round technicality for that contract.  XL also getting this weird kicker type blame for games.  XL somehow single handedly lost us games on one play.....and then we ignore the rest of the team that went about losing the game for 4 quarters.   Should he of caught the Philly ball? 100%.  The O and D still played like garbage that entire game.  Even after the drop, Panthers had two shots starting w/ a 3rd and 4 to convert.  They kept playing bad instead.  And even if we XL made the play....Philly would have had a minute and half to get into FG range to win it.  Who is banking on the Panther D getting that stop?  also, I am deemed Mr. Negative, yet here I am defending a no good dirty Gamecock lol
