Season 3 starts streaming today
His executive producer credit is a courtesy since she developed the book for television. He was fired halfway through production on the fourth episode of the second season. The remainder of that season was completed by committee, with the various departments running autonomously, and the writers working via consensus.Hey, Frank Spotnick is not involved anymore, is he?
One question -- is the actress portraying his wife the same one from the first two seasons? If so, they have done a fine job making her look pretty bad to match her emotional state in this season, including a significant weight gain.
So, I am a Philip K. Dick fan and having read this story I don't actually feel that there is any way that you could expand this out to 4 seasons of shows. Hell, it would be pretty comprehensive in every detail just to do this in a single season or a film.
My question here is for anybody that read the original story...
Are they just sort of expanding on Dick's idea here and writing all new stuff based upon it?
I mean I don't really see how they could do this any other way.
I have not watched any of this show but obviously have a big interest.
All of the main characters in the book are characters in the TV series: Bob Childan runs his Americana antiquities shop, and finds a market for the products crafted by Frank Frink, of buried Jewish ancestry. Frank was married to Juliana, who in turn becomes involved with Joe Cinnadella (who goes by several other names). Tagomi is still a high-ranking Japanese trade official. Hawthorne Abendsen is still the titular "Man in the High Castle".Are they just sort of expanding on Dick's idea here and writing all new stuff based upon it?
The streaming for episode one just looked awful in the darker scenes. Incredibly blocky, sort of like a first year DVD with severe MPEG blocking.
One problem with this season for me is that many people are often whispering, which makes it hard to hear through my TV. If I was playing through the blu-ray player, which is hooked up to the stereo, I'd have more sound options.
Sounds like it's time to connect your TV to your receiver, Sam.
I'm still waiting for blu-ray releases of seasons 1 and 2, which at some point a few years ago Amazon said were coming, but that seems to have changed. I always find the blu-rays of streaming shows (Amazon, Netflix, CBS AA, etc.) always have a better picture and better sound.
