The Man in the High Castle

The Man in the High Castle Season 1 - Official Comic-Con Trailer | Prime Video
We just finished season one and it just occurred to me why conservatives are such stick-in-the-muds. It's because they realize how fragile our civilization is, how easy it would to be to tip it into darkness and destruction and how bad that would be. So anything new and different needs to be measured against whatever upsetting effects it might have, and since there is no way to tell what those effects might be, the conservative approach is to go slowly.

A comfortable life is a rare thing. We look around at our neighbors and community and everything looks fine. But for a good portion of the world things are not so good. Famine, murder and mayhem are the order of the day for a zillion people every day. Having a comfortable life is the gold standard for civilized people.

This show is very annoying. The lead couple (Frank & Julianna) are not your cool, calculating secret agents, they are a young couple that have gotten drug into maelstrom and are trying to cope as best they can. Stir in conflicting loyalties, double agents and double dealing and I began to see how they might be a bit confused as to just what to do. James Bond never has this problem. Of course, James Bond gets to rid the script, so he knows who the bad guys are from the beginning.
