The premise of this show was great, the sets and cinematography were great, there’s scenes and whole episodes ghat are absolutely fantastic, show even starts off great.

But the liberal brainrot would never have allowed this show to become much more than low effort fantasy. Somehow turns an interesting setting of the US being occupied by the Nazi empire into some fucking Haruki Murakami esque fever dream about butterflies and time portals, without any mention of the soviets.

This show had so much potential

He's got some real "horny pulp author" issues in some of those (though I otherwise quite like Ubik, for example), which might also be part of why Man in the High Castle is taken more seriously. Then again, there's lots of weird horny issues in other authors that get basically ignored, so I guess that's an unlikely explanation.
