It's out on Disney+ here in the UK. I remember watching the 80s version as a kid and loved it. I read the book in the 90s and liked it. The new version is great too. I'm really enjoying it, although the acting of the guy playing John Blackthorn is a little wooden in places. Very entertaining and educational even if not entirely based on fact. Until now I hadn't realised that it was based on true events.

It's on Disney+ in Japan too. Clavell's weird sex obsessions aside, I've always liked the book as well. It does a good job introducing a totally alien culture and its history to the West. Yeah, I'm not crazy about the guy playing Blackthorn. He's no Richard Chamberlain. But otherwise the show is going well!
