How far will the Nazis advance across the multiverse to mine the realms for technology and intelligence? How much will they be able twist events in a way that matches their own oppressive methodology? With the Nazis having developed the portal to travel to the alternate timeline, it opens up a pandora’s box of possibilities across the multiverse, an opportunity that the ambitious Reichsmarschall Smith is willing to exploit. One of the most fascinating aspects of this plot twist is Kido’s family dynamic, as his relationship with his son is explored. This steers them to cross paths with Wyatt Price (Jason O’Mara), who is seeking their help, and Chief Inspector Kido (Joel de la Fuente), who is seeking to bring them down. Newcomers Frances Turner and Clé Bennett joined the cast for Season 4, as Bell Mallory and her husband Elijah, along with Equiano Hampton (the always wonderful David Harewood), leading the Black Communist Rebellion, who are revolting against the racist Japanese regime in the Pacific states. We are moving ahead a year in the timeline of the final season, and tensions abound everywhere. In the five screeners that I viewed, it was Sewell’s gut-wrenching portrayal that practically bounces off the screen in brilliant, emotional resonance. Playing the variations of John Smith is where actor Rufus Sewell not only shines in the final season, but puts in a tour de force performance. This freedom-loving world also contains an alternate version of John Smith, played with earnest aplomb by Rufus Sewell.
Through meditation-like Japanese Trade Minister Nabusuke Tagomi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), Juliana Crane (Alexa Davalos) is able to transplant herself to the alternate world, where the Allies won the second world war, and music like The Beach Boys is the norm. The last time that both dealt with each other, Smith had shot Crane after taking her prisoner at the Die Nebenwelt Nazi project used to traverse other worlds, situated in the Pennsylvania mines. The Man in the High is setting up a showdown between Juliana Crane and Reichsmarschall John Smith in its explosive fourth season.
