Dunno if anyone else is watching SS-GB, but if you get the chance, definitely watch it. It's a crime thriller in the vein of Fatherland and Dominion. Britain loses Battle of Britain, Nazis invade the south of England, executed Churchill, the British Empire capitulates. The themes of the story are quite poignant, and it's interesting note all the background fluff that's happening behind the story; a bureau of genetics is set up in Whitehall in the first episode, by the third the Jews are being forced to wear yellow stars, presumably in preparation for their deportation to Germany so as to be gasses. If you liked The Man in the High Castle, you'd probably enjoy this British twist.
