'Incredible' alternate history drama compared to The Hunger Games streaming now

Viewers simply cannot afford to overlook a remarkable TV series currently available for streaming, with audiences praising one "heartbreaking" film whilst others champion a movie that "enthralled" viewers, reports the Manchester Evening News.

The programme might have slipped past some viewers' attention, but it delivers an exceptional viewing experience.

One glowing IMDb review stated: "An immaculate, terrifying alternate history that is accurate down to the buttons. I love period pieces, and this scary projection of a post WW2 hegemony ruled by the Japanese and German empires certainly fits the bill."

Another viewer gushed: "I'm a TV show lover, but never! ever! has a series made me want to write a review."

They continued: "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 [sic].'"

A third reviewer entitled their assessment: "An amazing adaptation of the novel!".

They elaborated: "The pilot episode was exceptional. It held my attention and made me believe in such an alternate history.

"I have read the book, and although it is different, it is an incredible adaptation. If the book was turned into a show without any edits, it would be far too complicated and very hard to enjoy (although the book is incredible).

"The acting, story, and visuals are spot on and only intensified what I had imagined when I read the book."

Another viewer gave a glowing 10/10 review, exclaiming: "A must watch, absolutely amazing!" and added: "If you like Hunger Games, GoT, Legends, Vikings or any of these shows, you will like this. I highly recommend watching this, to everyone. Watch it! [sic]."

The Man in the High Castle first aired in 2015 and was Amazon Prime Video's inaugural original series, spanning four seasons.

The series is an adaptation of renowned science fiction author Philip K. Dick's 1962 novel bearing the same title.

The plot envisages an alternate history where Adolf Hitler and the Nazis emerged victorious from WW2, with the action set 15 years post-conflict.

The storyline follows various characters living under the rule of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany in a divided USA.

The TV adaptation stays true to this premise and centres around Juliana Crain (portrayed by Alexa Davalos), who starts to rebel against the regime after viewing a subversive newsreel titled The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, which portrays a world where the USA and the Allies triumphed in the war.

The Man in the High Castle was Prime Video's first major original series. The streaming platform kick-started its original programming by producing a series of pilots and inviting its users to vote on which one they wanted to see developed into a full series, with the science fiction alternate history emerging as the winner.

The Man in the High Castle boasts a star-studded cast including Davalos, Rufus Sewell from ITV's Victoria and The Holidays, Luke Kleintank known for FBI and Bones, DJ Qualls of Z Nation fame, Joel de la Fuente from Hemlock Grove, and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, renowned for Pearl Harbor and Netflix's Lost in Space.
