The Man in the High Castle

So the internet is starting to buzz about Ridley Scott’s adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s 1963 Hugo Award winning The Man in the High Castle.  I discovered it late last night in a deep internet dive and finished it off just now during my lunch break.  I’m not sure how I missed that this was a thing, especially since it is produced by Ridley Scott, but I did and I thought maybe some folks around WWEnd might not be aware of it either.

The pilot episode is free to watch on Amazon Instant Video (US only apparently) and is part of their Pilot Season where you get to watch a number of pilots and cast your votes for the ones you would like to see made into full a season.  The Man in the High Castle is by far the most interesting of the bunch, at least from a genre fan perspective, and it’s really really good – great story, very high production values and some really good acting – and you can’t argue with Rufus Sewell as the baddie.  That dude is just creepy.

I would like to see much more of this show so do go over and check it out.  You can also check out some clips over on The Wertzone to get a taste.  If you like it be sure to take the survey on the Pilot Season page and be sure to spread the word.  Let’s make this the one they pick!  If you’ve seen it, let us know what you thing of it.
