If you can never quite get enough of shotguns, stately homes and rival gangs, this show is for you

If you want an eye-watering recreation of early seventeenth century Japan, this may be your cup of sake

It is a load of tripe. And I really didn’t want it to be

The settings are beautifully realized; the tone and dialogue rarely strike a false note

Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg’s new series captures them well
