I heard about this yesterday. I actually wanted to watch this show before but was too cheap/broke to get Amazon Prime. Then lo and behold they decide to let you watch their shows for free for a week. I was ecstatic finally get to watch it and man I am not bored.

Its really good. A lot of cat and mouse in it and man you really think the Japanese are pricks. Nazis are a given but Japanese come off even worse than them in some ways. But I like the whole dynamic of the show. I'm still on first season. I thought maybe I might not have the time to watch all 20 episodes in a week and I'm already at episode 8 after just one day. I'm too addicted now. I already hope there is a season 3.

I don't think you're going to be able to watch past the first 10 episodes. The free preview is only for the first seasons of three Amazon shows:

It is free. Amazon prime is free for 30 days. If 30 days is not enough time for you to watch the 2 seasons, then you got more bigger problems.

Oh, yes, good point, you can always try Amazon Prime free for 30 days. The "one week" referred to by the OP is a special preview this week only.

Took your advice man. I finished watching season 1 and then signed up for the month preview with a credit card. I had no idea it was a free month until now. Watching season 2 as I type. 

I'm on what used to be euphemistically called a "fixed income" but I couldn't live without Amazon Prime. Not only do I not have to pay for shipping on things I order, I no longer have a car and there isn't a grocery store close to me so I use my Prime membership to get free delivery on my groceries too. Plus now you can even get free photo storage. It's really worth it in the long run.

I've had Man in the High Castle on my Watchlist for awhile and finally started watching yesterday evening -- got through the entire first season last night!

Amazon Prime definitely sounds worth it in your situation, April! I'm glad you're enjoying TMitHC. I find it a fascinating series. Interesting premise and intriguing situations that come from it.

Yes, I got it years ago, when I actually had more income but it has proved to be invaluable now.

And yes, I'm enjoying the show! I usually enjoy the film's based on the works of Philip K Dick, plus I enjoy dystopian societies.

Damm you're right! :(

I didn't realize that until you mentioned it. Yeah I guess thats fair you already seeing an entire season for free and beggars can't be choosers. Its a great ploy because now I'm dying to seeing season 2 lol.

No big deal. I'll finish season 1 and decide later if I want to sign up for season 2 to watch it.
