Any one seen The Man in the High Castle on amazon? Saw a trailer and thought it looked OK. A look at what life would be like in North America if the Germans had won the war

Watched ep 1 yesterday and ep 1 Jessica Jones today and I'm going with Netflix for my next binge. It seems like it might be some kind of clever parallel universe or fictional world kind of thing but I think I'd prefer to read the book rather than watch it if that makes any sense. Not sure it's gonna be worth ten hours or whatever to get to the payoff if there is one. But if it starts getting amazing reviews then I may come back to it. |

Cheers, may give it a go. Does sound like the book may be a lot better but will see. Decent enough score on IMDB, 8.4, but in this day and age there's really no excuse for making poor television.

I was thinking the same as you Tighty but when I sat and thought about how much I use Amazon to buy stuff subscribing became a no brainer. PS Loved the first episode of Jessica Jones |

Yeah if you use Amazon much or are the type of person who frequently needs a last minute present for something it's worth the money just for this alone.
I marginally prefer Amazon Prime to Netflix too, and it's got a very good selection of TV or films you can buy too. Plus it has Mr Robot, which is amazing.

You've picked unfortunate timing to subscribe to Amazon Prime, it's just been on offer for £59 - ended last Friday.
With Prime you also get the Kindle lending library included (if you have a Kindle). Does seem pretty good value but I can wait 3 or 4 days for free delivery and would rather have the £79 in my pocket.

You get a month for free to try it out, I accidentally signed up for it, they are getting really sneaky on that checkout page, insta cancelled and am now thinking of keeping it going.

Speaking of Amazon Prime and Netflix, I recently got an Amazon Firestick so I could watch these on my TV. Really happy with it. Installation is very simple and the iPhone app to select what you want to watch works a treat. Highly recommend.

London Spy BBC2 Monday 9pm is the best thing i have seen on tv for ages
on iplayer 3 episodes of 5 into it
Ben whishaw is magnificent
genuinely good stuff, seedy and harrowing
not a clue what is going on beyond some theories that will probably be way off ther mark

Will catch that if I think on, trailer looked good. Also recording one tonight at 9pm on BBC1, something about all the residents of a street in London all receiving a note saying "We want what you have" or something like that. Intrigued me.
