Classic series for a classic book
The series has and will always be one of my favourites. It captures the feudal and warring factors of ancient Japan well plus the churches plots to try and influence the political and military landscape. A must see for anyone whom is passionate about historical themed adaptations and this one in particular stays true to James Clavells vision. A must see!
