Critics Of "The Man In The High Castle - Season 2"

Season 2... continues to find ways to make this world feel real and grounded, even as the mythology surrounding the more fantastical possibilities inherent in its premise gets deeper.
The Man in the High Castle's fascist societies come closer to mutual destruction than ever in season two, but they feel paradoxically less threatening -- and ultimately, far less real.
As much as the premise is a powerful exercise in imagination, as well as an opportunity to visualize what could happen in this country, the show just doesn't take off.
Like the lives of many of its protagonists, The Man in the High Castle most frequently implies that it is something to endure rather than to experience with anything so vulgar or selfish as enjoyment.
Thanks to dull characters and mostly flaccid storylines, it falls short of being essential viewing. It drifts often and at length, too in love with its own wonderfully recreated world to realise that - half the time - it's going nowhere.
That The Man in the High Castle is a valuable show doesn't mean it's a perfect one, although the second season is stronger than the first, which invested much more heavily in visuals and style than it did in story or characters.
