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 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.
