Storyline
Did you know
- Crazy creditsThe opening credit sequence is a modified version of a zen garden. This style of garden is often referred to as karesansui, which means "not using water."The two main elements of a Zen or karesansui (pronounced "kah-ray-sahn-soo-ee") garden are rocks to represent mountains (or islands) and sand to represent water. The sand used in Zen gardens is not beach sand; it is actually crushed or decomposed granite, small pebbles, or fine gravel. The particles of crushed granite are angular rather than round, so they can be more easily raked into patterns. Moreover, ripples in the sand or gravel represent flowing water or ripples in the ocean.
Featured review
Perfection!
This is storytelling at its very best. When each and every character has a role to play and they deliver with perfection, you couldn't ask for more, but more you want because this show delivers. The intricacies of each move being made is like the most strategic game of chess, carefully, watchful and thoughtful. At the end of the episode I was left reeling, exhausted as if I watched a two hour non stop action movie yet there was no action, it's all in the build up, the anticipation of what's to come and I cannot wait. With two episodes left, I'm already hoping to hear that season two is happening.
