So, if you haven’t watched it yet, go see it and then come back here, for now I am going to get into the explanation which will contain SPOILERS. The show has been created by Frank Spotnitz and is available on Amazon Prime Video. The performance by cast members is great and every role has been cast perfectly and if you have read the book, you might have found the appearance of characters just as you might have imagined reading it. The backgrounds and the sets of a dystopian 1962 are just amazing. It is the most successful show produced by Amazon, since it started making original shows for its streaming service.
