Loved the first episode.
The visuals are stunning and the story was good enough.

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.

Can we get a few more of you onboard for this?

It’s on my radar, but it looks deep and artful. Intend to binge the season once it’s done.

Artful yes. Deep not so much.

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.

Always appreciate a good Catholic vs Protestant story, makes all those Western Civ classes seem worth it.

I wasn't as enamoured with episode three; still enjoying it and I'll tune in till the end but yeah; the mechanics were WAY more obvious, it's incredibly clear that

Spoiler: show
they're setting up white saviour and token female Japanese main character to sleep together; I mean they essentially offed both of their partners in the same episode and had them gazing lovingly at each other on a boat
