OGF. Smith shines again, as we see the celebration of Victory in America with the model Aryan family. I like the dinamic between Tagomi and Juliana, the ending of the episode leaves Julianna, Frank and Joe in pretty interesting places. This episode none of the arcs felt like filler content, which is the first time in this series

Sets Off Some Fireworks

There's something especially unsettling about a Nazi in a green cardigan. From the beginning, many of the show's most disturbing moments have centered on Obergruppenfuhrer John Smith: even the incongruity between his showy German title and comically ordinary American name reads like a three-word summation of The Man in the High Castle's themes. So it makes sense that the first episode to spotlight the SS officer would be especially effective at encapsulating what makes this alternate world so disquieting when The Man in the High Castle is at its best. The show, at this point, has developed a pattern of using incredibly coincidental chance meetings to drive the narrative. This is on display when Juliana has yet another coincidental crossing of paths with someone. With the end of Three Monkeys, the show has left all of its main characters in intriguing places, all the better to keep us wondering what's next.
