Just finished The Man in the High Castle season 4 (the final season). Really enjoyed it almost all throughout, with only a couple things not really resolving in a way that I found satisfying. Definitely would recommend the entire series to anyone who can stomach the subject matter, which is often distressing and a little too reminiscent of reality at times.
I'll agree with this. And also say this: it was very Dick in its irrationally human, painful, cautiously hopeful endings.
[SPOIL]WTF is wrong with you, Yukiko?
Childan? I know love is blind, but...
Childan? You know what, fine. Fine. I'm fine.
Inspector Kido's turn? Okay. Sure. Sure. It's for family, and he's basically got no honor left to lose, I guess? Except he does, or I'm lacking some cultural context?
Why is a suddenly slightly hopeful plane of existence that is STILL FULL OF NAZIS becoming a destination world for interdimensional refugees? I, uh. Hm. Okay. Sure. I guess there are worse worlds than these.[/SPOIL]
Though speaking of stuff on Amazon: I'll disagree with anyone who said
The Boys was worth watching. It was utter trash. Once you get past the, "Oh, we're subverting the superhero narrative and giving you the opposite of what you'd expect at every turn! Ha-HAAAA!" it becomes predictable show of shitheads being the worst possible shitheads, with every SURPRISE TWIST! being telegraphed with frustratingly obvious storytelling devices. Eventually every scene starts expanding in the number of subsequent scenes that it predicts in such a way that you could probably skip the last two episodes and still know everything that happened.
I haven't been this turned off by a show since the third season of
Battlestar Galactica.
If all you're interested in is above average cinematography, respectable production values (on a limited budget), a decent punk-infused sound-track, and hammy acting, I guess you're set. If premise, writing, and direction are
at all important to you, I'd advise that you skip it.
Further, if
The Tick died for this, I'm going to firebomb Amazon.
I still might watch season two. Because I'm invested in my hatred.
