I often think about how Philip Roth wrote an alternative history novel where his older brother was a Lindbergh supporter. I wouldn't like it if my brother did that to me.

In any case, Plot Against America the HBO series is good & timely it takes Roth's novel but opens it up in thought provoking ways.https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/plot-america-hbo-trump/ …

Agree. The characters/dialogue are a little wooden (I almost gave up on it for this reason) but better than in the novel, and the performances, esp Winona Ryder and John Turturro, are great. As in the novel, the counter-history is done with great subtlety and plausibility.

I thought Zoe Kazan's telephone scenes in the finale were impressive.

Yes, those were stand-out scenes, as were the ones with the Ribbentrop dinner.
