5 Reasons You Should Watch The Man In The High Castle

Like Game Of Thrones, The Man In The High Castle tells a very global story. It follows several stories from several characters perspectives, some of whom don't ever get to meet.

Through John Smith you see the inner workings of the Reich, see the political intrigue and deception that goes on to run this corrupted, manipulative and evil empire growing all the more oppressive, whilst also seeing what it's like for the average American family living in an American suburbia under a tyrannical Nazi regime.

Through Takeshi Kido and Nobusuke Tagomi you see the fading power of the Imperial Japanese army, who have become a lot more liberal and caring toward their American subjects. But as they stringently stick to their traditions, they see a growing resistance against them.

And through Juliana Crane you see the world through the eyes of a rebel, someone who no longer wants to love in a world ruled under an iron fist and see the American resistance movement grow and grow into a formidable fighting force.

Each of these individual stories are accompanied by their own beautiful score thanks to the show's composers Henry Jackman and Dominic Lewis. Straight after watching each episode you will be searching the tunes up on YouTube just to live through the emotion of the best scenes all over again.

The show's best song is Juliana's Letter, just to help you out on that inevitable YouTube search. You'll know it when you hear it, as it is one of television's best character themes, and it accompanies some of the best scenes in the show.

These story arcs only scratch the surface of what this show has to offer. Never before watching this show would you have thought an antique shop in San Francisco would be the centre of such tension and drama.
