What Season 1 of The Man in the High Castle

The United States lost World War II and is now divided into three zones. The Greater Nazi Reich controls the East Coast, the Pacific States hold the West, and a neutral strip occupies the Rocky Mountains. It is 1962. Juliana Crain, a woman from San Francisco living under Japanese rule, receives a film from her half sister that shows a world where the Allies won. Those images call into question the reality everyone accepts and draw Juliana toward the resistance. Joe Blake transports a mysterious cargo toward the neutral zone, while John Smith hunts rebels in New York. Nobusuke Tagomi, Minister of Trade, and Takeshi Kido, chief inspector of the Kenpeitai, round out the cast, and their paths cross with those of the others.
