Saw it in a row. The dystopic story is quite interesting at the start. Season 1 and 2 are a bit stretched, and the "world travel" is kept too vague IMO, hard to assess what it is about. Season 3, contrary to other opinions, I found interesting so far as there was introduced some sense about those "world travels". Season 4 felt more like an artificial prolongation, and the finale is one unique, conglomerated mess without much, if any?, sense, no doubt. A good part of the story remains obscure and unexplained.
The cinematography IMO was the best part. Wardrobe and puristic settings & CGI of the "50&60ies alternative nazi ambiente" are indeed excellent. Acting was OK. The heroine Juliana Crain can pass as classic french starlet and is enjoyable, but IMO she's a bit limited in her expressions, as she looks always pretty much the same, no matter if happy, crying or serious. The "Reichsmarschall" did a good acting job. Once again, the scripters seemed obliged to unneccessarily serve the PC, adding nothing by doing so. The part with the glorious bunch of black power, forcing out the japanese, with respect, was just laughable. The portal for the "world travel" was an interesting part per se, but in fact added almost nothing to the whole story.
I have not read the book, but I hope it's better. Worth to watch ONCE for the original settings and plot.
