From what I understand, people were excited about the coming of this TV series based on James Clavell's book after the highly successful and popular SHOGUN. In the end, it turned out to be somewhat a disappointment.
This story is much more complicated then SHOGUN. In addition, whereas battles in SHOGUN were fought with knives, spears and arrows, here they were fought with corporate tools. People unfamiliar with terms like corporate financing and takeover, buying and selling short, run on the bank may not enjoy it at all.
But for those who have read the book, this is a very good TV series and well worth watching
