Surprisingly good series.Very well filmed. The information is very dense as it goes through a very long period of Japanese history loaded with intrigue, battles and turning points in just 6 short episodes.

Really interesting, well made documentary series. The reenactments are top-notch, and in movie quality. If you are interested in this matter, you should not miss it.
