The 2nd episode of "Man in the High Castle" when you realize they just copied the setting and are going to ignore the key elements (and strengths) of the book.

I gave up on the adaption about 5 min into the second episode.

phew. I tried to watch that and the premise seemed so good but ugh. knew nothing about the ip so im glad its not just me who found it sorta crappy.

I enjoyed that show immensely, until the rushed last season. I didn’t read the book though.

I actually liked the series better than the book. And I generally like PKD.

That's a fair arguement, I can understand your perspective.

I think my negative view of the series is more due to my expectations (I think I started watching it right after finishing Electric Dreams, which I thought was very well done).

I need to go back to Electric Dreams. I’m not sure I finished it, but I remember liking it. Thanks for reminding me!
