The Amazon streaming service, newish rival to Netflix and normally subscription-based, is currently showing anyone who logs on a chance to see for free pilots of dramas that they may pick up for full series, based on viewer response.
One of them is the first episode of what would be a series based on The Man in the High Castle by Philip K Dick. And it's really, really good. It's not perfect, two of the leads are a bit too good-looking for one thing, but the production design is really good, it gets the balance between tension and exposition right and it has Rufus Sewell as a sadistic jackbooted Nazi officer. I really hope it's developed into a full series.
