Hard to articulate how much I love this; brilliantly directed, perfectly staged, actors are absolutely on it. An extraordinary narrative in which very little overtky happens (though lots of changes are made) but is more gripping and emotionally engaging than most of what I have seen in decades of film and tv watching.
Other positive reviews have already pointed out exactly why THE MAKANAI is a wonderful thing, a piece of true art in every sense. And the sense of genuine kindness, from the characters towards each other and by extension to the viewer, is extraordinary.
Arguably the best television I have ever seen, and I have watched a lot since the 1950s.
