John, Keith and Jules are back with a new topic!

What was new to us since last season? 

Jules is excited for Amazon Prime’s new feature that allows you to download select content to a device for offline viewing. He made use of the feature to watch through Hannibal.

___________

pt1: The Man in the High Castle (TV 2015)

John’s pick is the focus of this week’s segment. “The Man in the High Castle” is based on Philip K. Dick’s 1962 novel of the same name. You can watch the series on Amazon Prime streaming.

The series was launched initially as part of Amazon Studio’s pilot program. Every year Amazon commissions pilots and releases them for the public to watch and review. A number of these pilots are picked up for production as full series and released through Amazon’s Prime streaming service.  

The Iconography of WWII is used to great effect in the series, though Amazon got into some hot water in their advertising campaign which smattered this iconography around New York. This optics issues may be in line with the cultural concerns addressed by Agness Kaku in her Op-ed.

The book is available on Amazon and most major booksellers. 

NEXT WEEK: Jules’ pick Stories We Tell.
