	Author	Review
United States	Michael Ahr Den of Geek	"[4th Season Review]: The show has left some of its less effective storylines at the wayside and strengthened its final season with only the best aspects (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Tom Jorgensen IGN	"[4th Season Review]: The human drama is as strong as ever, but 'High Castle' struggles to coalesce it into a coherent, impactful ending to its story."	NEU
United States	Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"[4th Season Review]: It is a reminder of a time now gone, when tech companies could try to distinguish themselves by investing in bold programming."	POS
Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"[4th Season Review]: The first two episodes are slow to the point of distraction (...) [It] nevertheless builds toward a fascinating finale"	NEU
United States	Dave Trumbore Collider	"[4th Season Review]: 'The Man in the High Castle', at its best, serves as a cautionary, eye-opening tale against repeating the sins of the past"	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: These 10 episodes feel far more centered as a whole (...) It’s a show about unchecked hatred that doesn’t offer much in the way of solutions"	NEU
United States	Matt Fowler IGN	"[3rd Season Review]: The series sheds its sinister skin and delivers some great twists and turns (...) It finds new ways to shock and sadden"	POS
United States	Dave Trumbore Collider	"[3rd Season Review]: Season 3 handles each and every plot point remarkably well (...) The cast is both very attractive and super-talented (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Michael Ahr Den of Geek	"[3rd Season Review]: With new explorations into the meaning behind the mysterious films and deeply felt emotional arcs for many of the characters, it will have been worth the wait (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"[3rd Season Review]: The more 'The Man in the High Castle' gives in to its science fiction leanings, the more it entertains."	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] delves deeper into dark mythologies (...) [It] is at its most captivating when it's at its hardest to watch"	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"[2nd Season Review]: The show just doesn’t take off. The plots are overly elaborate, the supernatural element is distracting, and, worst of all, the acting isn’t very good."	NEG
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"[2nd Season Review]: The visual details are striking (...) and the cultural ones are chilling (...) The show falters most with its central couple"	NEU
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"'The Man in the High Castle' has more than a hint of 'The Twilight Zone' and 'Black Mirror' in it, and that's a very, very good thing. (...) It's a compelling addition to this year's already long list of worthwhile TV shows."	POS
United States	Tim Grierson The Wrap	"A compulsively compelling series that grows richer and more emotionally nuanced as it gains momentum, 'The Man in the High Castle' milks its provocative what-if premise for plenty of smart suspense"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Although the writing and storytelling in first episode (...) come off a little clumsily, overall it’s a fascinating launch for an espionage series. 'The Man in the High Castle' is also expertly and realistically imagined."	POS
United States	Melissa Maerz Entertainment Weekly	"The plot isn't even the best part. It's the evocative paranoid world that creator/executive producer Frank Spotnitz has built."	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"The Man in the High Castle has a solid opening episode and gains weight and heft as it goes, in part due to fantastic world-building."	POS
United States	Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer	"Epic in scale, gorgeous, and beautifully acted."	POS
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"This subversive dark fantasy feels too real to ignore."	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"There might be almost too much information involved (...) But damn, do we want to see more of it."	POS
