Dystopian Amazon Prime drama called ‘best show ever made’ is coming to Netflix

When it comes to dystopian sci-fi thrillers, there’s not many streaming platforms that deliver the goods like Netflix.

Home to some of the best sci-fi series of all time, from Black Mirror to Dark and Love, Death + Robot, Netflix knows exactly how to terrify its viewers with a bleak reimagining of the world as we know it.

And, much to the delight of its subscribers, Amazon Prime Video’s The Man in the High Castle is now being added to the platform’s catalogue of programmes.

Created by Frank Spotnitz, the four-season thriller is adapted from the Philip K. Dick novel of the same name.

Starring Rufus Sewell, the show imagines an alternative history where the Axis powers won World War II.

Delving into the dangers of fascism, it provides us with a terrifying look into how people can accept oppressive regimes.

Raving about the series on Rotten Tomatoes, countless viewers have praised the show, which boasts an 84% rating.

Writing on the website, Daniel P said: ‘We are talking about a show that has a decency of 4, yes four, complete seasons of 10 full hour episodes, that’s a luxury nowhere to be seen.

‘The actors are top notch, you cannot ask for more than that… this is heaven and such a refresh.’

Katie also wrote: ‘SO GOOD. Love the historical fiction, the forbidden love, the magical realism. Tickled all my pickles,’ as Sergei called it a ‘terrific miniseries’, adding: ”It’s a haunting alternative history vision implemented in a extremely authentic fashion.’

Meanwhile, David argued: ‘Just imagine, I dare you, how the world would be now if history was different. Fantastic series to capture this thought.’

The series has been so well received that even the Metro’s review described its season four finale as a ‘masterclass’ in saying goodbye.

But Amazon Prime’s The Man in the High Castle is not the only sci-fi series that has recently been added to Netflix.

Earlier this week, every episode of a sci-fi series that was labelled ‘better than Star Trek’ is now streaming on Netflix.

Stargate SG-1 has long been renowned as being one of the best sci-fi series ever made.

Featuring parasitic aliens, robots and exciting space battles the show could be your perfect binge watch after you’ve finished The Man in the High Castle.

Rolling Stone even branded it ‘the unlikeliest success stories in sci-fi TV history’, as SG-1 ran ten seasons from 1997 to 2007.

The Man in the High Castle is available to stream on Amazon Prime.
