I watched a few minutes, then changed the channel...like all else "fantasy" these days it is *totally* CGI, a kid on any computer could do those special effects...

I'm a huge fan of The Man in the High Castle, the book is one of my faves of the "alternative history" genre...watched the first season but then lost interest. One thing about creating an Axis - occupied USA of 1962 is that people would not be living in nice suburban tract homes and driving cool '57 Chevies and watching Rock Hudson movies or whatever, the only difference in contrast to our real history being Nazi flags all around, etc....simply not believable!
