Saw the screener of ep1. The subtitles weren't in place but most of this is in English. I'm slated to interview the showrunner.
It's a documentary series with noted scholar talking heads recounting the history of Japan's feudal age beginning in 1551 with the rise of Oda Nobunaga. I was pleased that I recognized a few of the scholars. This is a ripe chunk of Japanese history - the source of so many samurai movies. It's a good history lesson and the battle scenes are reenacted sanguineously, albeit digitally so. But still, the armor looks cool and it's stylishly presented for the most part. I found myself engaged.
It's Canadian made but I doubt I'll spot anyone from The Expanse or Kim's Convenience.
There will be 6 eps, each coming in under an hour.
Sword fights - check! DOOM recommended so far.
