Excellent so far. The best explanation I've seen of how it's an improvement on the 1980 series is that it gets the protagonist right. Blackthorne is the POV character. But Toranaga is the protagonist, the central character around whom the whole story revolves.

I've said this in the TV thread, but feel like I need some validation.
I think they've got everything spot on. Except Blackthorne. He's just an idiot.
It's still great, but it could have been really great.

Validated there, and here...

Blackthorne in the tv series isn't much like the character in the book...
Since haste quite Schorsch, but Liverpool are genuine fight pigs...

The Fly, a story by George Langelaan. From wiki:
"The film tells the story of a scientist who is transformed into a grotesque human–fly hybrid after a common house fly enters unseen into a molecular transporter with which he is experimenting, resulting in his atoms being combined with those of the insect."
