10. The Man In The High Castle
One of the most famous age-old questions is answered in The Man In The High Castle, what if the Axis had won the war?
Well, we have our answer in fiction. The US has been split into two-parts, one controlled by Nazi Germany, and the other by the Japanese Empire. Set in 1962, the years since the war was won have created tension between the Nazis and the Japanese, in what can only be described as a cold war-esq stand-off. The only problem is that there is visual evidence that the Axis actually lost the war.
The central story and mystery is just epic to see unfold, the cast is fantastic, and the concept comes from the mind that brought the term 'Blade Runner' into the world. Philip K. Dick. Dick's work seems to be riding a wave of popularity in recent years and his stunning stories have been realised by TV and film more and more.
In short, The Man In The High Castle is a high concept work of mastery that is put forth by Amazon in stunning style. It ended in 2019 with its fourth season but remains an example of what great and underrated television is.
