It's like Netflix in that the whole season will come out at once. Unlike Netflix, they produce pilots at amazon to gauge interest (and this was their most popular ever...). They haven't released the date yet, but the trailer does say "this fall"...

So I'm confused. What is the plot?

American citizens believe that they lost WWII, and Germany and Japan have taken over a half of the US.

The resistance is working to undermine these new regimes and take back control of the US, but who are they actually working against?

It's alternate history where the allies lost world war two. Germany controls the eastern US and Japan the western. So a lot of intrigue and politics and rebellion and so on. The twist being that in the pilot, one of the characters discovers newsreel from our reality, showing victory celebrations amongst the allies. It was cool, and well done. I have not read the book so I don't know where it's going but the pilot was more than good enough to hook me.

So how does that newsreel exist if we lost the war? If we didn't lose the war how did we lose the country? I was with everything until I saw the video of the Iwo Jima.

I assume that's a mystery the show will unravel..

I think that it will try and follow something along the lines of the Business Plot.

Does it come with a free copy of Wolfenstein?

About to finish the 7th episode and this has been really good. The video quality of Amazon's 4k HDR is some of the best I have seen as well if you are a junkie and have a set that can do HDR.

Watched the first episode and really liked it. Hoping to watch the rest over the Thanksgiving holiday.

I'm on the fence after three episodes. Some of the characters are too flat, and although an alternate history, it's so far out there that it's hard to believe, which detracts from the authenticity of the story (especially given that it's not really adopting much in the way of sci-fi, reality-bending explanations).

However, the protagonist is strikingly beautiful. I might be watching to look at her.
