But, like, that's not what it's about. It's not about what happened to the other allies and it's honestly only partially about what happened to a portion of America. It's a bit about racial hierarchy and a bit about wu and weird time travel fugues. There's a reason, for example, that they discuss the intrigue around Hitler's successor but they just don't resolve it; it's just something that's going on that informs the social circumstances that the characters are responding to. It has no interest in war game bean-counting.
I get that. What I'm saying is the setting makes no sense with what I saw in those first few episodes. It's very "The Axis won WWII because reasons and now the world is just this way." It just hand waves the problems the Axis would have occupying the US or how that would affect minority groups. Or what happened post-war in other countries.
My point is they may as well have created an entirely fictional setting (like Harry Potter) because there wasn't much thought behind the world in Man in the High Castle. It just seems full of liberalism and Great Man hypothesis.
