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

I watched the first episode or three and that was it. I couldn't get over my suspension of disbelief. There's a lot that had to happen in order for the Axis Powers to win WWII. Even more had to be done in order to occupy the US. None of those things were addressed on the show. I have the book sitting on my shelf, but never got around to it (I have so much shit I need to read).

Here's how the Axis Powers can win WWII and occupy America:

Time traveling aliens can appear with the intention of using the Nazis in order to build a device that will allow them to return home (or something I don't remember what they were doing)
