The opening shipwreck scene is incredibly dated and even a little cheesy, but for the most part, I felt the majority of the series was incredibly engaging. As good as Clavell's adaptation proved to be, I feel that an overhaul of the series would be an awesome project for HBO to take on.

Pretty damn decent. Drags in parts, but has enough virtues to make up for that. Very much a bestsellerish sort of production, as almost the entire thing is story story story story -- however, this is a good enough story for that approach to work. Consistently intriguing look at 17th-century Japanese culture, and a leading female character that you'd very much like to smooch
