sincerely , it is a part piece and it is about this machination . This is a dangerous world where violence can fare out of nowhere , but the real peril is in the machinations . A conversation can be as dangerous as anything else . A better comparison [ than Game of Thrones ] would be Succession or House of Cards . This is made hand in deal with the Japanese because it is a level about two civilization encountering each other and watch ourselves in each other . We are right smart preceding [ the westerly gaze ] in terms of audience sophistication and the taradiddle we require to tell . What we really need to tell is a write up of political intrigue , imprisonment and entrapment .
