It reminds me of things like Dynasty and Falcon Crest.

It's glitzy and glamorous and full on.

I'm here.

Yeah, it's about the price of success and greed, basically.

And it starts with the words, this story is based on true events and is a work of fiction.

And I'm fully in once I see that because we know what they're doing with it.

So it's about the post-war rise of Japan from the rubble, but it's seen through the life of a woman called Kazuko Hosaki, who had this crazy rollercoaster life.

She started with nothing, like her family were incredibly poor.

She watched her mother being preyed upon.

That made her really tough.

She became a nightclub host.

She fell into debt to organise crime gangs, lost everything, reinvented herself as a best-selling TV fortune teller who was known for her stark predictions.

And she hoodwinked loads of people.

And it's this rollercoaster.

It really is.

And she's great.

Erika Toda plays her and it's a great performance.

I'm enjoying it so much.
