Anyone here watched this show? It's a very well directed (and acted) TV show about a world where the Germans and Japanese won WWII. It's an excellent thriller and drama where you never completely know who's side anyone is on.
Critiques
- The Nazis actually call themselves Nazis, as a bit of a history buff this bothers me because the term Nazi basically originated as an epithet, the Nazis referred to themselves as National Socialists.
- It's kinda hard to sympathize with the Resistance (at least in the Reich) because the show never actually shows the evil acts perpetrated by the Germans/Japanese, you see some people getting executed but the show never shows concentration camps or slavery (even thought they are mentioned only briefly a few times). The closest they get is showing a mass grave once. The Nazi Reich seems like a perfectly clean, orderly society with super advanced technology, not a dystopia at all.
- Why the hell is the "neutral zone" so goddamn huge (on maps)? There's like thousands of miles of land unoccupied by either side. Makes no sense considering all the resources that would be in it.
