We’ll be watching this as some point. Love the book. Vaguely remember the old miniseries.

Shout out to that actress who was also on the Godzilla show, she’s making bank this year I’m sure.

I'm on ep 2, this is really good

Ep 2 was way better than 1. Good move releasing them both to start.
I’ll see it through, but it’s A LOT of reading. I appreciate the white savior just for the language reprieve.
On a personal level, I’m not a big fan of prevalent aspects of Asian culture. I hate their concept of honor (please let me commit seppuku for speaking out of turn). Mostly, I can’t stand the slurping. There are less disgusting ways to show appreciation for food.

Pretty cool so far. The actor who plays the white savior is a strange individual.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The main White character is awful. Not sure we will bother with episode 2

*whispers* is the only white character in a show about Japan not supposed to be awful?

Is this great tv or is this mediocre tv with great costumes? I can’t tell.

That Second half was amazing
And the score by Atticus Ross is neat

There’s just something about this show that hasn’t clicked for me yet. I really liked all of the stuff in the latest episode before they got on the road, it was a good set-piece of tension building, but there are elements that have missed the mark for me. But I’m willing to give it more time.daft twat wrote:Is this great tv or is this mediocre tv with great costumes? I can’t tell.
Always appreciate a good Catholic vs Protestant story, makes all those Western Civ classes seem worth it.
