This is a new show on Netflix. Chapter One, consisting of 6 episodes, just dropped last Thursday.
Think Squid Game meets The Last Samurai. Here's the synopsis:
During the Meiji era (late 19th century), 292 fighters came together at Tenryū-ji Temple in Kyoto after sunset, drawn by the chance to win a grand prize of ¥100,000. The challenge was clear: take each other's wooden tags and make it all the way to Tokyo. The winner would get the prize. One of the warriors, Shujiro Saga, joined the dangerous contest with a personal mission: to help his sick wife and child.
Some great characters. Fantastic fight choreography. And the story has more to it than just a bunch of folk fighting. It's got political intrigue and personal drama unfolding as well. Really entertaining.
