Le Maître du Haut Château

Judge by the episode alone, without comparing the detail of the book it base on, it can be said that this show is of top quality, the grim, rusting, stressed and 60s styling photography, the camera angles and choice of equipment used at the time all looked extremely authentic.

That super sonic liner sequence was wonderful, it doesn't feel overly CGI for a TV show at all, then the nazi reception room sequence also shows the production quality in fine details.

It is a spy, psychological story with surreal elements and the show managed to capture that so far.

Any one with know a thing or two about ww2 history or a scifi fan would appreciate the effort spent here to make the world as authentic as possible in a TV budget.

If it was granted more episodes and the production quality remains, then it would easily be short list for the best mini series of 2015!

9/10

I love the first 2 seasons. The plot was incredibly shocking. The actor Rufus Sewell (John Smith) is definitely the star of the series. A fascinating character that talks to you with his eyes. The first runner up is of course Joel de la Fuente as Inspector Kido. On the other hand, the weakness of the series is the character of Juliana Crain played by Alexa Davalos. She was ok in Season 1 but her character turned to annoying upto Season 4.

Despite some unnecessary scenes in Season 3 made just to satisfy the diversity dilemma of the West, I give this show 9 Stars for the great and unbelievable moments it provided.

I watched the fourth season with sheer pleasure. I was afraid that the ending of the whole thing could outgrow the creators, as in the case of GoT and ... unfortunately, it was like a blow with a rusty knife right through my guts. Sigh. I gave 8/10 for the whole series, and the last episode promised to be strong 9/10, but in the last minutes, it fell apart into a dishonorable 3/10.

I'm a TV show lover, but never! ever! has a series made me want to write a review. It was a cold Sunday evening... I was waiting for Sunday night football around 645pm. I decided to squeeze in the pilot. Needless to say, 7 episodes later I was still watching. The story line is incredible. The acting is great. The emotions that it brought out of me was real and raw. It made me appreciate and think differently about the word/idea/concept that we all throw around "FREEDOM." Yes, it's fictional, and yes it's just a TV-show, but boy! they hit on something, at least in me. I'm beyond impress! Monday morning, coffee to the rescue!

The first two season are great, worthy of 8 or maybe even 9/10! The plot idea is simple but effective, most characters are interesting and acted well (with some exceptions), and the plot twists are very good! Some of the characters's choices are terribly stupid and annoying, but the rest is so good that you can almost forgive them.

That is, the first two seasons. Season 3 is a total mess. Few interesting moments, but for the most part it became a serie that has no idea what it is and where it wants to go, with bunch of useless story lines that start nowhere and go nowhere.

Watch the first two seasons, they are worth it! But then stop there.
