Man In The High Castle (MITHC) is a series based on a book by Philip K Dick with the same name. The premise is a world where the Nazis and the Japanese won World War Two after dropping a bomb on America, and it follows two main characters as they navigate the fascist world. The main characters in question are Juliana Crane and Joe Blake. 

We follow them both through various trials and are introduced to important secondary characters such as John Smith, a high up Nazi official.

The series touches on many themes that can be considered to still be relevant today, such as racism and anti-Semitism. Not only this but it shows the human psychology surrounding how people react when they are surrounded by and are oppressed.

Not only this, but it also brings up important things in history regarding things such as Nazism, including the further continuation of the Aryan race.

The main question that the series poses is what you would do in this alternative history. Would you join the resistance, or would you try to fit in?

All in all, the series and the book have a few differences, but the message is the same.

Stay tuned for more reviews on MITHC including character profiling and more in-depth analysis. All of the reviews from here on out will have major spoilers in, so if you enjoy alternative history shows then give it a watch and share your opinions with us!
