I suspect cultural differences make the Japanese style of acting a little bit unemotional and wooden . I binge watched 7 episodes but found it hard going and uneventful . The interaction of officials and deferring to superiors to keep honour and face was interesting compared to western behaviour but really there wasn't enough action or events to keep interest levels up through 7 episodes . Seeing the evacuation of the towns and personal impact would have been better . One more episode remains . All a bit dull really and wooden acting makes Crossroads look dynamic and emotional . I give it a 6 but ultimately very disappointing .
