A Samurai in Time

AudienceAudience: 7.2

After lightning sends a samurai from the past into modern Japan, he awakens on a television film set. Mistaken for a highly skilled performer, he begins working as an extra in period dramas while trying to understand this unfamiliar world and the people around him.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like warm, offbeat time-travel stories with period-drama charm and strong performances; Not for you if you want nonstop comedy, intense action, or consistently fast pacing.
