The Man in the High Castle (Amazon) – Man in the High Castle returns for its second season at midnight tonight. Season one of the show that imagines world in which Germany won WWII and Nazi’s now rule half of America with the Japanese running the rest ended with Juliana Crane betraying the resistance and tensions mounting between the two factions of the country. Season two is packed with even more mystery and action, as the Japanese take on the Cuban missile crisis and high-ranking Nazi officials begin to question the state of the nation. Coincidence or not, this show is coming out at a really great time. At the very least, it’ll remind us what fascism looks like.
