The Man in the High Castle (2015)
Gorgeously filmed, PKD's brilliant scenario...quickly becomes a soap opera.
The short story is quick and just gives us an idea of what life would be like in a WW2 losing USA. But the show diverges radically and starts to map out a lot of really interesting territory-- what's going on in Africa? How about birth defects within the master race? Who might succeed the Furher? It gets pretty cool but it also spends a lot of screen time tracing the muted emotional response of beloved main characters. For better or for worse, it becomes a TV soap opera... but the backdrop is so beautiful and creative, it's well worth it.
Trigger Warning with Killer Mike (2019)
Don't sleep on this mad provocative, innovative and new
This isn't simple satire nor some borat prank upon the low hanging fruit that is the general populace of 'Merica. This is Killer Mike sharing a wealth of perspective on hidden subcultures and how they might interact in an imaginary world... ours. No really, it's a fascinating look at just how unique american cultureS are.. and possibilities for communication and overlap. It's very smart, incredibly brave and funny as hell. I don't know how you don't binge all the episodes in one long day.... but I hope that there are more coming.
