Season three of The Man in the High Castle in part, ties up the storylines from season two (mainly Joe and his Father being arrested, as well as the aftermath of the bombing of the Kempetai headquarters). Then it launches into what is the crux of this season's story arcs. That involves finding out more information about the "travelers", those who are able to move between dimensions like Trade Minister Tagomi, and that the Nazis know about the multiverse and are trying to find a way to get into the other dimensions in mass in order to take over the other worlds. Of course, the resistance members, led by Juliana, try to stop them. The show also introduces a new character Wyatt Price (played by Jason O'Mara), who is somewhat of a fixer/dealer/guy to go to when you need something in the neutral zone.
The look and feel of the show are pretty similar to prior seasons. The season does take some of the characters in different directions. Some people will probably like that, and some not so much. As has been the case with past seasons, there is a lot of violence and some sexual content. So, if that turns you off to a show then it is not worth watching it. Also, Amazon has not released it on DVD or Blu-Ray, and probably never will, so the only way to watch it is on Amazon, either with a Prime membership or paying for the seasons or paying per episode. It continues to be very well-acted, and pretty well written, even though I would say that the writing is more uneven this season than in the first couple of seasons. Even so, the season is pretty well-paced and packs a lot into the ten episodes.
