    Following the roaring success of my Deutschland '83 thread, I thought I'd post on here again. Has anyone seen the above? Trailers look good and it's an adaptation of Philip K. Dick novel.

    Starts off well but gradually gets worse as it progresses.

    I'm 7 episodes in ... it's OK

    Pretty slow but I'm going to watch the series as I think the subject matter is very interesting

    I watched the whole thing and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's pretty much the perfect kind of show for me, though. I love dystopian/conspiracy stuff and have a verging-on-unhealthy interest in the Nazis.

    Its not close to the book though, which was my main gripe.
