Love the 80s miniseries, do wonder how its aged though.

This shows a high level of promise, can't wait.

I am going to check the original out again when I get a chance, see if it holds up still.

First two were very good, an improvement over the 80s series. Looking forward to more.

Never read the book or saw the original show.

I’m going to start a free Hulu trial once all episodes air so I can binge.

Everyone is hailing this as a masterpiece.

I love this series.. It is so damn good. I;ve never used words like MASTERPIECE, HOWEVER this series to me is definitely a MSTERPIECE. I love it


Two people that I;ve never heard of Anna Sawai and Cosmo Jarvis were cast well have been good.

Henry has been totally great as always and I've always been a fan of Tobunada Asano.

Still good.

Still confused why this Blackthorne left the pheasant outside to rot for a week, thinking it would somehow make it taste better.

So did they forget Buntaro?


Jilted husband, took his wife sleeping with the foreigner like a man and died like a man. Best damned part of the book.

He's in it, but it doesn't look like a good adaptation:


quote:
A hulking and stoic samurai, Toda Hirokatsu, is known by his nickname, Buntaro. He is ruthlessly loyal to his lord and only suffers a single weakness: his jealous possession of his wife, Mariko.



The bolded part is a lie, he was anything but. Mariko refused to sleep with him for personal reasons, he never forced her, never pressured her. He showed her a tea ceremony as a sign of his devotion, something with deep meaning to her, yet honored her decisions.

It's Mariko who chose to sleep with another man. Buntaro beared that shame, and proudly did his duty in defense of his people, dying a noble death.

It's a shame Hollywood has to turn him into a typical possessive husband just for the drama.

Yep.

The book established they didn't even use baths for fear of illness, the British were way backwards in some respects compared to the Japanese.

Tried watching, man it's.a bad adaptation. The killing children thing never happens in the book, that's new to the show. And it was put in by Hollywood as a sick joke, everyone knows Tinsle Town are bloodsuckers who literally drink the blood of children in their demonic rituals, this is literally the only reason they'd add that scene.


Hollywood people are sick!
