I really wish this show and book were just fiction rather than sci-fi.

Why is the Statue of Liberty making what is clearly just an awkward hand gesture and nothing more?

[-] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 hours ago

the statue of liberty just sends love from its heart … right?

First season was astounding, powerful, alarming, and interesting. Second season, it is obvious they fired the wriiter who was the showrunner and ended up making the entire second season forgettable.

I haven't watched any of it yet. Would you say that it's worth just watching the first series and forgetting the second, or does the second series wrap up some story lines ?

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

The 4 seasons are worth watching. Most of it is actually really good, but it does get weird in the last season.

[-] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago

I'd say it is overall worth it. Goes from Fiction to Sci-Fi

Okay, so here's the deal. This show should've had 5 seasons, not 4. Everything up till the middle point of season 4 is AMAZING. After that, they have really rushed it n made it quite illogical.

The ending is underwhelming. That being said, I would highly recommend u to watch it. The story's just really really good. Certain twists and payoffs are veeeery fascinating. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed how they wrapped the show up, but some people didn't like the ending

[-] prole 3 points 9 hours ago

It's based on a Philip K. Dick novel, but I didn't watch more than a few episodes so I can't really say how much it strays from the book.

Didn't realize Blade Runner/Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was based on fascism.

Move to the neutral zone

I didn't realize before that the show had a statue of Elon Musk.

[-] PyroNeurosis 3 points 9 hours ago

See, what's striking me is the similarity berween the Tesla logo and the Reichsadler.

Buckle up for season 2!

The US is nowhere close to being a Nazi dictatorship.

[-] Dekkia@this.doesnotcut.it 13 points 8 hours ago

The US is currently closer than ever before. Time will tell how far that is.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 17 points 9 hours ago

There are whole sections of the story that show American suburbia as it would have been known in the 1960s, except with Nazis. Churches are repurposed to worship the state rather than a god, but are otherwise unchanged in their layout or services. When the Nazis took over, they found plenty of people willing, even eager, to collaborate.

The whole point is that America was never that far from fascism to begin with.
