I just spent the last 4 days binge watching The Man From the High Castle [View all]

It is a gripping story and actually somewhat timely. I got a very good insight into what makes an entire nation turn into what Nazi Germany became. Several times I hear a phrase that could be pertinent right now

It's a revisionist history of WW II in which the Allies have lost. The Nazis have North America up to the foot hills of the Rockies, and the Japanese have everything west of the Rockies. The mountain region itself is the Neutral Zone. The plot is very layered and can be confusing but I suggest you stick with it. I may have to sacrifice another weekend in a year or so and rewatch it.

The original book was written by Phillip K Dick a science fiction author. The science fiction sort of creeps into the story as it progresses.
