It's pretty good.
But...

It stopped at the 50 minute mark and the spinning disc appeared.
Checked my WiFi and it was at 130MPS.

Booted the fire stick and didn't help.
Finished on my desk top.

Tried to watch part 2 and the same thing.

Did Amazon sort of crash?

I watched the first two shows and stopped at 3 as it was late. Thought it was good. The writers played along with Clancy’s books rather well, they did make a few changes like jacks future wife from an othomologist to an entomologist, Changing Greer from an admiral to a disgraced cia field spook. All in all a good show so far. Wonder how far they will go?

Any streaming videos will go down if the network gets overloaded. But usually they'll refuse to start.

Just finished the first season. Only 8 episodes. It’s okay, I’ll watch the second season if they make one, but it is not the série of the year.

Just got done with the 1st 2 episodes. IMHO better than the books so far. Excellent.

I enjoyed the first show. I also noticed Man in the High Castle season 3 is coming soon.

I watched part Friday, part Saturday and will finish before end of night tomorrow. Good series. Very entertaining. Only the names and the concept that an analysis stops terror is the same as the books. Everything else is different.

IMHO its better than the books. Characters are better developed, less cardboard cutouts, the switch of Greer from admiral to CIA was an excellent choice, portraying the infighting in CIA decision making. I hope to much Hollywood emotional hand wringing and empathy doesn't hurt it.
