Missed Opportunity ...

For those who the Roman (German title: The Man in the High Castle) have not read this pilot presented as uninspired, clichéd "nullachtfufzehn" production.

For connoisseurs of the novel this film, however, is bordering on insolence disaster. Another example of how the creators is obviously not interested in the film adaptation of a wonderful substance. Rather, one seemingly more likely to be interested in the crowd-pulling Roman title here. Unlike the (often completely absurd) changes the story can not be explained.

Conclusion: Better read the book (possibly there is also sometimes a audiobook version).
