Beyond great...a very well crafted series.Excellent acting and beautiful scenery and stage settings...Ken Watanabe is outstanding in his role as Dr.Baian...all the supporting cast are great as well,anyone who enjoys samurai era films will enjoy this series.

Description: Using his knowledge of acupuncture for both good and evil, Dr. Baian considers himself an asset to his community. He is a murderer, but he claims to take money only for killing wicked people. Set during the Edo period, this series takes place largely in brothels and bars, capturing a sense of the street culture during that time.I have really enjoyed this series thus far, the last episode that I seen was vol.#4 it was a full length movie, best episode so far.

My wife and I started to enjoy this series
with Disc One
and loved it

only problem
Disc 2
screwed up....not with scratches or anything....just the digital copy is a mess

Disc 3&4 were ok
but out of 7 episodes....we only got to watch 5

The only downside is Baian basically has one kill move with a needle
fortunately it is really well done and that doesn't really detract from it

I only gave it 3 stars due to the screwed up Disc and I bought it new from Amazon
