The premise of this show was great, the sets and cinematography were great, there’s scenes and whole episodes ghat are absolutely fantastic, show even starts off great.

But the liberal brainrot would never have allowed this show to become much more than low effort fantasy. Somehow turns an interesting setting of the US being occupied by the Nazi empire into some fucking Haruki Murakami esque fever dream about butterflies and time portals, without any mention of the soviets.

This show had so much potential

Agreed. I thought it was a very good show based on an even better novel, but the writing was a bit lacking at some points. I hadn't even thought about the fact that they don't ever mention Soviets. If I'm not mistaken, in the book they pretty much glassed Russia and Africa, so not much is said about that.

I loved it except for the final 30 seconds of the whole show, which was truly an absolute cop-out garbage ending, incredibly unsatisfying. It didn't ruin the rest of the show for me, though. It wasn't GoT levels of a preposterous ending spoiling the enjoyment of everything that came before, but I was very disappointed.
