Well, sad to say, but my will power gave out and I wound up watching the first two episodes before the 20th after all. :lol:
The show's pretty damn good so far. It does a good job with world building, and atmosphere setting. The "Oh, it's just Tuesday" scene in particular really struck home with the casual horror of what the world's become under Nazi rule.
I was also glad to see that the show's creators were well educated enough not to buy into that nonsensical "the Nazis were Christians" propagandistic myth the far Left so loves to bandy about. The Bible is banned as "subversive" across the Reich, and the Nazis are deliberately noted as not believing in much of anything supernatural at all.
The main villain (so far, anyway) seems to be well handled as well. He's evil, but not mustache-twirlingly so. He's cold, calculating, and ruthless, but also rational, generally non-malicious, and a reasonably affectionate family man to boot. He actually believes in what he's doing, and in the new order. He's also willing to do just about anything to keep it in place, and very competent in doing so. That's part of what makes the very concept of him so frightening.
