Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaExtensive research was done for the cultures, particularly areas such as costuming, technology, and music, to develop an alternate world which merges aspects of WWII Nazi and Imperial Japanese cultures with the cultural progress of mid-1950s America. Although the series is set in 1962, the use of the 1950s for many touchstones suggests the cultural stagnation that would have occurred under totalitarian occupation.
- GoofsThe Japanese sign in the aikido dojo says Habu Yakkyoku in Japanese which means Lance-Head Snake Pharmacy.

Featured review
An amazing adaptation of the novel!
The pilot episode was exceptional. It held my attention and made me believe in such an alternate history.
I have read the book, and although it is different, it is an incredible adaptation. If the book was turned into a show without any edits, it would be far too complicated and very hard to enjoy (although the book is incredible).
The acting, story, and visuals are spot on and only intensified what I had imagined when I read the book. When I first read the book, I had hoped for a movie to be made from it, but a show will be a much better pace for such an though-provoking and intelligent story.
I want more episodes!!
