The Man in the High Castle: Book vs Series

Post by Monet_va »

What are your opinions on The Man in the High Castle book, versus the Hulu series?
I really love both, although I felt the book's ending was a bit rushed and could've been fleshed out more.
The series, on the other hand, goes further than the book and takes more time with the story. It can also achieve much more with the visuals that it brings to the table. I am however scared that it shifts too much focus onto the sci-fi, "travelling between realities", aspect, rather than the alternative history aspect.

I'm so excited for the final season. :mrgreen:

I liked both, A couple of issues here and there, but characters, themes, and directing cinematography were great.
