Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsAmazon Prime members- The Man in the High Castle is on this weekend
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.

(56,829 posts)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.
