It's pretty fucking good, I haven't seen this before. About halfway through the marathon on Encore.

I remember that as a kid.  Don't remember shit about it other than it had that gay dude from the thornbirds in it.

Pretty good, the book is good as well. It was actually loosely based on a real guy.

Read the book along with the follow ons, Taipan and Noble House. Excellent.

Liked it too.  Watched it back when it was broadcasted the first time.   Picked up some Japanese watching it.  lol    I felt it slowed down in the last episode though.   This series in a way reminds me of the Tom Cruise movie The Last Samurai.

Awesome!  Thanks for the heads up on this.  Haven't seen it since I was a kid.

I just remember watching it as a kid and some dude's head getting chopped off by a samurai. The End.

That reminded me of how at work, as we all watched the series, we all started using Japanese phrases to each other, and calling each other "Robert-san".

I was actually surprised at how much Japanese I picked up very easily.



Hai!

Between that and the earthquake scene that had guys getting crushed, it really made an impression on my 10 year-old mind!

Loved it as a kid. It's been a long time since I've seen it though, but I remember it being very good.
