This review is from: Tenko: Series One, Part 1 [Region 2] (DVD)

This great series is still only available outside of the U.S. Wonderful scripts, powerful and subtle acting, Tenko is as relevant as ever in this Iraq era. Distributors where are you? There is money to be made here in the USA on this important television series!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tenko, July 10, 2006

This review is from: Tenko: Series One, Part 1 [Region 2] (DVD)

I am thrilled that this series is now available on DVD. I watched it several years ago on public television, and have been looking for it ever since. The first hour presents the women living their upper middle class lives as wives of British colonial officials. After that, everything changes, as they become prisoners of war to the Japanese. As time goes on, the emotional bonding between the women is portrayed by superb script and acting. Warning: after the first two or three episodes, you will be hooked!
