Haven't heard of that one and had to look it up. Likewise haven't heard of SS GB until they start advertising it, so was curious if anyone had an opinion.
I know I know, everyone has one

"High Castle" was based on a Philip K Dick book of the same name, and that was damn good. So the TV series is probably rubbish ... I don't know, Herself won't watch anything to do with WWII and I don't watch the idiot box on my own. 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Sounds like you don't know that SS GB was also based on a book. Len Deighton wrote it back in 78.

The High Castle TV series was actually good,
actally got better in the second series, the people really come out.
Reckon they picked a damn good director & cast.

The series is very good and the actors are great, my girlfriend adored that series (and she's pretty picky).

High Castle was very well done, really good TV series, differs substantially from the book although contains the essence of it.

Very good! (handwave) And Antarctica, just like the moon, are both uninhabited and absolutely uninteresting.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Another one?
God forbid that TV writers should choose something original or interesting to write about.
I'll bet 1,000 lines of code that they know p1ss all about German mentality and behaviour -- why write anything resembling reality in, when you can use cardboard cut-outs?

IIRC, it is based on a book by Len Deighton. The Nazis' invasion of Britain has succeeded, and Britain is controlled by the SS.
The book was OK, I don't know about the miniseries.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

May have to watch the first one, just to see. I tend to find these sort of mini series get bogged down with someone's life and just glosses over the premise of the series.

I have been watching it from the beginning and am reasonably impressed. I read the book years ago so cannot quite remember what happens at the end.
|
|
|
|
|
Well that's one
|
|

|

It's not bad. It sticks to the book reasonably well.

I am a great fan of Len Deighton's. This reminds me of that I have have often regretted throwing out that book, when cleaning out the house after my dad. I could not keep every book...
The IMDB rating 6.5 is quite low. I often find them reliable. But in this case I would definitely give it a chance...
... such stuff as dreams are made on

I am about to watch episode 3 and so far it has been a little slow but not bad. The Len Deighton book was excellent and the series so far hasn't deviated much.
Unlike the Man in the High Castle, it is set in England and is also more about a detective investigating a murder under massive political pressures.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Episode Nein is the best one.

Watching it now. Not sure if it's the regional accents or the mumbling, but not the clearest audio.

It was more a pun "Nein/nine" actually, I have not watched any of the series episode.

Just finished implementing the zoom feature for FlowSharp! I'll update the article within the next few days, but I am in a celebrating mood! ![Jig | [Dance]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)
It wasn't that painful, though it did require touching most of the shapes in my shape library to use the new ZoomRectangle property instead of DisplayRectangle, the latter being the master shape dimensions.
I guess that's the real definition of "refactoring" - things you should have thought to abstract at the get-go and have to go back and fix everywhere later on.
