I 've watched all 5 episodes, the 6th one is still in the raw. the passion displayed by Japanese actors in Japanese historical dramas is next to none, I have not seen any of this passion in their modern dramas. One can clearly follow how the History of Japan unfolds by watching these dramas. It's not so much about pagantry or the actors, it's about educating Japanese people and the world about what happened way back when and how these events led by sequences to the modern Japan as we know it. To understand a culture one needs to be an avid student of history to know what consequential behaviors shaped Japan to become what it is today.

I watched the first 2 episodes in Hawaii on Kiku T.V. The episodes were great and am looking forward to the rest of the programs. Looking at the historical view of the Heike and Genji families and their interaction with the imperial families.
