[QUOTE="Thomas More, post: 886656, member: 8402"] I'm surprised nobody commented about the most prominent feature of the series. At least everybody smokes cigarettes continually. They must have made all the actors get hooked on cigs too, because they like to show them up close, where you can clearly see they are inhaling, and not just puffing. I imagine cigarette stocks went up slightly while each season was being filmed. I binge watched the first three seasons for the first time over the past week, and I am a couple episodes into the fourth season. It's interesting to see how many times they've made the alternate history parallel our timeline. They made the threat of nuclear war in the first two seasons parallel the Cuban missile crisis in ours. They are having this Jahr Null story line which closely parallels the Cultural Uprising in China, with revolutionary youth denouncing adults in everyday situations and beating them to death in random public places, all with approval from the central government. Very interesting stuff. It's clear that starting with season 3, they brought in a lot of SJW story lines, with teh gay, and fat positivity, and all kinds of other multi-culti angles. They thing is, these elements did arise during this period in our timeline, so it makes sense to portray them cropping up under the Nazi regime. It's not just America. Berlin is a known center of this kind of decadence, so it would certainly have come up if the Germans had won WWII. I'll post more after I finish Season 4. [/QUOTE]
