Rufus Sewell is an underrated, unappreciated actor. He’s always casted as a villain in American movies but this actor is really great. I became a fan when I watched him on Man in the High Castle. Just absolutely great acting from Rufus. This guy needs more movies and tv shows!

[@Torrriate]

How the hell did Rufus manage to not let his British accent pour into Smith's diction at all ? Hat's off!

[@dlynn101]

This show is evidence that television can, indeed, be an artistic medium.

[@mossadon]

WORD !

[@halops117]

all up until the last episode

[@Torian1o1]

@@halops117 I thought the last episode was really great actually! I think most people are put off by it because they were expecting some kind of clear and (in my opionion) boring typical ending that resolves the entire story without any kind of questions after the fact. But this ending was completely open and leaves a lot to the imagination. One thing I'm pretty sure is true, is that *SPOILERS* The parallel doubles of the people who died in the High Castle universe are now coming through the portal from other realities, because 1: the portal is now fully open, and 2: their counterparts from the High Castle reality have died there, which enables them to come through and "heal" that world from all the suffering that was caused by the Nazi occupation.

[@Torian1o1]

@@halops117 It leaves the fate of the BCR and the Western States open for the most part. But it does hint at a more positive and peaceful future. Same for the American Reich. What does Whitmore decide to do with the Reich? Will it return to a more USA-type place like we have it here? Do the racism and white supremacy continue? This kind of open ending allows us to think about it more. Whereas an open and shut ending that gives us all the answers, means we can quickly forget about the show after it's done. That's boring. I'd much rather have something to really think about after the show ends.

[@wokeeye6441]

And television can also be a propaganda tool as the Nazis have illustrated.

Suzanne she mentions time travel so kind of doubt she gets the show...

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

@@eduardovelazquez4733 This IS a big stretch but... Maybe she is one of those who believes the multiverse theory is just the big bang/big crunch over and over and therefore traveling to each segment is traveling through "time"

[@sebastiansanhueza9601]

The interviewer's questions were ok, but they seemed to focus more on the episodic arcs of the show. The show's story-lines are great, but what I specially like about it is the way it handles the psychological development of each character: in a way, there are no good or bad guys (except for Himmler, though, really nasty dude), but only people who do good or bad things, and, as the show moves on, you kinda come to understand why they do what they do. Unfortunately the interview doesn't get to dive into that aspect of the series.

[@sweetpjeb23]

Really? Because it sounded to me like she didn’t really know what she was talking about. She said it was about time travel? And that she didn’t know what side Julianna was on? It felt like an awkward interview to me where someone was like “shit. You gotta do an interview with this cast. Here’s the gist of it”

[@RajBauer]

Really I think she clearly doesn’t watch the show or barely understands it from the way she asked the questions lol

[@gabehill-harriss9022]

Where have I been?? Been binge watching this too just finished season 3, amazing show and fantastic depth in storytelling. Superb acting, particularly Rufus Sewell and obviously the amazingly beautiful Alexa Davalos..I mean, wow.. she is unique. Starting the finale season and cannot wait to see how it ends.

"They were aware not to allow current events to influence the storyline" I LOVED this show for a hundred reasons but I felt the last 15 seconds cheapened the whole show with its "borderless country" analogy. Did I get that wrong? These actors were phenomenal, great to see them here.

[@sweetpjeb23]

I finished episode 9 and had just started the finale when I had to pause it to make sure John lived. The spoilers that I read pissed me off so much that I couldn’t even watch it.

I'm confused about the Donald Trump part. What does he have to with it? It's like they are trying to imply something, I'm not sure what though exactly. They lost me with that. Weird conversation there. Anyway, the cast did a great job and season 3 was awesome.

[@twixotic04]

Fascism today vs decades ago.

[@deanhibler3117]

Donald Trump = Hitler? I don't think so. I am glad Chelah Horsdal shut that idea down during the interview as far as a direct comparison between the Reich and the current US administration. Trump may be a lot of things, but he is not a Nazi or a fascist.

[@quicktastic]

Exactly. I was shocked that they seemed to be implying that. Anyway, wonderful acting and I really liked season 3.

[@twixotic04]

@@deanhibler3117 the sad state of this world is some ppl not getting the parallels between nazi germany and today. It's obvious but if you refuse to see it *shrug*. I guess all the hate that he spews means nothing to you.

[@twixotic04]

@@deanhibler3117 thats exactly the same mistake everyone makes. Hitler didn't get to the holocaust overnight. His plan began years ago in the 1930s. You have to make the comparison with early hitler. I dont think trump could ever do something like the holocaust. Big difference between nazi germany and us today is the US has almost 300 years of democratic growth vs the weak and failed weimar republic. If america was 5 years old no doubt something like the holocaust would happen. But not in america today. That being said, they way he speaks and caters to his base is highly reminiscent of how hitler got popular in the first place. And if people are genuinenly outraged by the horrors of the holocaust you also have to care about how it even got to that level in the first place. What he says and does must be taken seriously even if it wont end in mass genocide.

[@mshk1989]

Another great show with with so much potential but ends with a disaster finale

[@RajBauer]

My god this interviewer just doesn’t get this show. Asked awful questions and barely understands the shows with the way she was asking the question, nothing frustrates me more than people who don’t prepare their questions Like why the hell did she keep saying time travel, I was so happy Alexa corrected her on it, I really feel bad for the actors having to sit there and listen to her 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@brendashenda4249]

Alexa doesn't understand how to use a mic?

[@debbsb9499]

Every interview I've seen of her, you can barely hear what she is saying. I noticed it in the show too. She talks too softly compared to the other actors.

[@sweetpjeb23]

A lot of actors are shit with that. Or when they test the mic they speak louder so sound sets that volume. But as soon as action is called or they say something you can’t hear a damn word.

I am not going to lie it would be interesting to see what our world would look like in 2020 if the Nazis would have won WW2 yes there would have been revolts here and there. BUT would the tech be the same, or would geography be different?!

[@amangupta5323]

Nazis, I think, have had a very unstable political setup. If they won, there would be coup after coup... Yeah, they would be developed... But they won't hold the world. By 1980s only that world would be starting to shape like ours, because my rebels would make seperate states and democracies would be established. Any state which made an absolute monarchy with nazi like ideas, would be taken down very fast.

Isa Hackett, who is a lesbian, has shoehorned gay relationships into season 3 that don't advance the story one bit. They are there simply to show diversity. Any relationship needs to have context. They are just padding to what is otherwise a tightly written set of episodes.

[@johnricercato740]

That's interesting. I thought it had been a memo from on high, but your news explains a lot. I have no problem with gay relationships, but having two in one season suggested a strong identity politics agenda, quiet besides stretching credibility. Overt political agendas always undermine art. In the UK we have this problem constantly with the BBC - it is simply too obvious from the start who the heroes, baddies and victims will be, so the shows lose authenticity and dramatic tension - they are too predictable.

[@kcdiazWTV]

It kind of have context. The relationship developed in a place called the neutral zone. The show depicts it as a place opposite of the Nazi and Imperial states.

[@sweetpjeb23]

YES. They just put them there for the hell of it! Like what was the point of Nicole swinging both ways? Like...? Why? There was no point to that. Literally NONE.

[@margaret9314]

They shoehorned every conceivable leftist whinge into seasons 3 and 4. Turned the show into a joke.

[@JPT1965]

Quite disappointed not only in the leftist rhetoric underlying comments by the cast / host in relation to current American politics. Also the overarching story is lacking particularly the lack of a redemptive arc (ala Clegane), for John Smith now with complete autonomy in North America. Finally if I recall the book within the book (another parallel universe ) correctly racist UK subjugates the world, due to rapid defeat of the Nazis. But, no commentary that there are alternatives that can be just as bad, although different.

So her doing something like joining Joe in becoming a Nazi would have been soooo interesting.
