I just finished watching the last two seasons of the Man in the High Castle. The show has a great setting and beautifully builds the alternative world as well as atmosphere of the cold war between the Japanese Empire and the Third Reich. It’s full of little details of how life would be different in that alternative world and makes you think. The characters are all over the place, from terrible to great. A big turn off for me was for the Sci-Fi elements which imo were just fantasy, they might as well added elves to the story as it would have made just as much sense. Also, the ending was a bit underwhelming but otherwise a great show.

Alt history wise BBC did do one a couple of years back it was called SS:GB. Didn't watch it myself but it's supposed to be good.

I tried watching it this week but I quit after about 40 minutes. There is not way to put it than to say I found it boring. I also realized it was my second attempt since I recognized a good part of the first episode.
