My DH watched this series on Amazon Prime, called the Man in the High Castle, about what life in the US would look like if Germany and Japan had won WW2. The Germans control the eastern half of the country. The theme song is, yes, Edelweiss, and while it’s the same old Edelweiss, there is something undeniably creepy about it, take a listen here:
(I’m sort of surprised R&H gave them the rights …)

I agree. It's creepy. Lacking all of the warmth that anyone in TSOM adds to it. It seems like a strange pick to me for such a powerful show concept. Though, maybe it is perfect for it's soft creepiness. I could see this being sung while the visual of silent footage of war plays out in the background.

Definitely dark sounding. It's probably done on purpose because of the content of the show. I shudder to think what life would be like if we had lost that war. It would have been dark and creepy, definitely not as we know it today.
