I will watch this compelling and complex series again. The story telling, character development, different cultures represented (Japanese, British) and stylized presentation are riveting. The overt plot includes two brothers, one a detective, the other a member of the yakuza; it the title, Duty/Shame belies a much deeper psychological portrayal of love, betrayal, acceptance, grief. Truly, a unique viewing experience. I would say that in watching this, stay with it. The story is many layered and unfolds slowly. The acting is exceptional throughout.
