Ridley Scott might be known for directing such big screen hits as Alien and Gladiator, but he's also a successful producer. Through his company, Scott Free Productions, he's been behind some pretty incredible films, as well as small screen favorites like The Good Wife, Dope Thief, Alien: Earth, and a 2015 dystopian sci-fi thriller that to this day remains one of Prime Video's best original shows.
Prime Video’s 4-Season Sci-Fi Based On An Award-Winning Philip K. Dick Book Is An Overlooked Gem
Prime Video has an incredible Philip K. Dick adaptation, which adapts one of the most acclaimed books written by the author. Yet, despite delivering a unique take on the book, the show remains under-appreciated.
Philip K. Dick remains one of the most influential sci-fi writers of all time. Owing to this, it is not surprising that his books and stories are often picked up for movie and TV adaptations. Even one of the greatest sci-fi franchises of all time, Blade Runner, was inspired by Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
Surprisingly, though, among all these adaptations, the one Prime Video sci-fi show seems far more overlooked and less talked about despite having a solid Rotten Tomatoes score of 84%.

Ridley Scott's Dystopian Amazon Show Was Hailed as 'Unlike Anything Else on TV' (& It Still Is)
Cinema legend Ridley Scott has also dipped his fingers into television, with his production company responsible for excellent shows like The Good Wife, Raised by Wolves, and the recent Alien: Earth. Scott served as the executive producer for Prime Video's adaptation of Philip K. Dick's eponymous 1962 novel, The Man in the High Castle. The series gained fame rapidly, meriting multiple renewals until its conclusion with Season 4.
The Rotten Tomatoes critical consensus correctly refers to the show as "unlike anything else on TV," while also highlighting the "fully realized post-WWII dystopia" setting. There have been few stories capable of capturing the suffocating terror of the darkest possible historical timeline, with The Man in the High Castle being a prominent example. Despite the ambiguity of the series finale, this is one show that never fails to pack an emotional punch.
