. @zain_ll7 Jan 22 من اجمل المسلسلات الساموراي تشدك ل اخر ثانية قصة ومعارك See more Hendry L Jan 22 The premise of a Battle Royale but with Samurais is an incredibly fun idea! The fight scenes are incredibly well-choreographed, bloody and a visual treat to watch! There is also some wonderful cinematography and it genuinely feels like they brought the Meiji era to life! The music score is also excellent. I found that all the actors did a terrific job and special praise has to go to Junichi Okada as the main character Shujiro Saga. He does a great job in bringing depth to the character and also performing the fight choreography. While the story sounds generic on paper, I do love how they explore conflict between the old Samurai era and the new one while also handling some of the politics in a digestible way. It does have a lot of generic tropes including the old broken down man, the young naive girl who can be quite annoying and overly silly bad guy. However, I enjoyed a lot of this show and it is a great start for Season 1!

See more Tobias K @Tobiassssssss Jan 11 There might be some parallels to Squid Game, but this show surpasses them in most. It is rather a mix of political historical fiction with an abundance of expertly choreographed action sequences, which sometimes made me think of a classical anime. Also some of the characters feel larger than the reality they are put in, so their portrayal sticks with me. The kind of cliffhanger in the final episode unfortunately made the season seem incomplete for the sake of the shows renewal.

Hopefully they will continue this series with another season See more Emmanuel S @EmmanuelS Jan 4 I launched the first episode expecting to quit after five minutes into watching due to tiresome doomscrolling. Oh boy, I was wrong! I was sucked into this Meiji Era, political Samurai "Squid Game" series. The main actor, Junichi Okada, that I discovered in a comedic role in "The Fable", embodies all the gravitas of lost Samurai in search of redemption through Katana throat cuttings. It's rough. Unapologetically Japanese. And it makes any Hollywood fight scene look like a Senior Tai-Chi lesson. Watch it if you are into Sword, Honour with a deceptive twist, and you don't wait for Tom Cruise to save the day. Impatiently hoping for Season 2... See more Read all reviews
