The Barbarian and the Geisha
Meh2/4 · Mediocre. Watchable if it is already on, but I would not go looking for it.
A historical drama about the first U.S. Consul in Japan in the 19th century. The main character has to earn the Japanese people's trust, who initially receive him as an outsider and treat him as a devil. Entertaining at best.
