They have extremely similar facial structures the first time I saw the dudes face even with his disheveled hair and beard. I immediately thought, Tom Hardy, and then his like false, gruff, gravelly voice that hes using for the characters very similar to the Hardys style of character voicing.

I'm not seeing it. I dunno what to tell you.

I definitely see Tom Hardy. They both have like a slack-jawed affectation. Also British.

This is a better comparison. He looks closer to Andrew Lincoln than Tom freaking Hardy.

Yeah "right now" is tough to interpret. Airing in march/april? Sure

Available to watch on any streaming platform? No

Great show though

It's definitely the best shot show since BCS and Succession. Even being at that level is saying something. Who knew lighting a scene could make something look so good

I think "right now" is pretty common for ongoing/currently releasing series. But yeah, if you take the whole library of what's available in streaming, you'd be comparing it to some of the greatest shows of all time when it's only a handful of episodes in.

a lot of shows have been hyped up as the next Game of Thrones or something.

so far, this is one of those that come the closest to it. definitely has some GoT vibes going...

That's what made the original source material so good. There was very little actual action (this show so far has more action in it that the entire novel combined), but a metric shit ton of political manuvering. That's what the show is all about, and I love it.

More than half of it is subtitled because most of the cast are Japanese people...speaking in Japanese.

Actually, I think the only non-native Japanese-speaking person on the show is the actress who plays Mariko. Do I have that right?

If you're okay with watching GoT around family then yes. Gore and nudity scenes to be expected but nothing too excessive

Beware that a dude gets boiled alive in the first episode. You don't see too much of it, but you hear all of it.

Depends on your family. The nudity is pretty tame (little bit of T&A,) but the violence is as bloody as it gets.

Sure but I was hoping for some redemption not straight up buffoonery. I don't think it was bad it just made me feel bad. Plus that crack was visceral af.

And because he failed his mission miserably, the geisha is going to executed. The other dumb guy who is in love with her is probably going to do something stupid once that happens
