The Engadget staff on 'The Man in the High Castle' finale
It's been almost five years since The Man in the High Castle pilot premiered on Prime Video. The show, which explores an alternate timeline where the Nazis won World War II, was set up to be the next big Amazon original after Transparent and Mozart in the Jungle. And while the first episode performed well -- it was Amazon's most-watched pilot at the time -- the show never grew into the Game of Thrones-level behemoth that the company clearly wanted. Still, the e-commerce juggernaut backed the alt-history epic to its dramatic fourth-season conclusion earlier this month. So what did we think of the ending? And has it changed our overall opinion of the show? In this week's video IRL, Engadget editors Nick Summers and Matt Brian discuss the many highs and lows of High Castle and how they will remember the writing, acting and production design of the finale. (This article contains spoilers for 'The Man in the High Castle' season four)
