Is this really how we are supposed to resolve our conflicts?

To me, his consort, "Usami Fuji" would have made the better Mariko to be honest. Natural Asian beauty and most matching the mesmerizing aura of the 1980's "Mariko".
While Anna Sawai who played Mariko would have made a great consort with all the pain and hate she displayed so greatly (but somewhat misleadingly) in Mariko's role.
It is quite accurately based on the original story from around 1980.
Mariko was a samourai in the story, very capable to defend herself.
It has nothing to do with the woke agenda in this extraordinary case.
But be assured it will be different in the supposedly announced S2+S3....
Prepare for nonbinary LGBTQ Samourais and 'colored', formerly oppressed Japanese natives turning heroes!
answering myself:
"The miniseries is approximately 360 minutes long. In the US the show first aired on the Sundance Channel divided into 7 untitled episodes (of variable length between 49 and 53 mins each); in the UK and new Zealand, the show aired as 6 one-hour episodes. The titles of the UK episodes are: 1.1 Paradise Sold 1.2 Searchers Search 1.3 The Edge of the Universe 1.4 A Rainbow Above Us 1.5 The Dark Creator 1.6 No Goodbyes Thanks"
I didn't consider the kid as too annoying, I just couldn't figure out it's sex?
But maybe that's the future - gender neutral / asexual movie actors, besides the obligatory 'non-white' actor, to make sure they can still receive awards and get funding. Crazy times.
you mean liberals, not libertarians
Wouldn't that have to be added to Breaking Bad then, as it is past Better Call Saul in the timeline? :)
Netflix has been completely hijacked by SJW warriors now.
Nothing interesting will come from there anymore unfortunately…
For them, being 'provokative' now means trying to sell transsexualism, gender identity or pedophile stuff to us (see "Cuties", "Owl House" etc.)
I have to agree.
'The Good Wife' at least had some ongoing story line, while 'The Good Fight' didn't even manage to make something out of the 'black lawyer's company' idea or Diane's struggle to recover financially, or to develop anything interesting between the characters (the only one worth mentioning being the complex relationship between 'Lucca' and her bf, but even that was quickly turned into a punch line driven comedy).
What we got in excess though was the stereotypical 'between the lines' indoctrination on how bad and ridiculous Trump is according to the writers, to an almost embarrassing extent like around the 'pee tapes' or displaying a life-sized naked photo of the 1st lady in the episodes of Season 2. It almost reminded me of propaganda, as right-in-the-face it sometimes was.
I don't watch a TV show to get patronized on what a horrible person Trump is. Stop the virtue signalling and political indoctrination, Hollywood, leave us alone and treat us like adults! Give us well thought-through stories, use hints at real-world personalities very carefully, and don't turn adult drama series into afternoon comedy series. Please.
After I read that S3 goes on like that, I will exit after S2. S1 was still okay, but sometimes it's better to let go and give it a good and conclusive ending.
good and interesting take - and really valid points of view.
Thanks for your feedback! ;)
