Da qin fu

10/10 because it's an amazing epic, on an epic scale.

First off, costumes are finely detailed. It's the terracotta army brought to life. Then the sets are very detailed, even down to seemingly obscure details like chariot axles which have finely engraved Chinese artwork. No less the buildings and interiors, similarly finely detailed. We found ourselves pausing it to wonder at the sets and costumes, and then there's the scenery!

The story easily pulled us along with its believable characters, their loves and hates, plots, revenge - both women and men, some very dangerous. Director and writers know their stuff, not forgetting sets, makeup, costume!

The battles were bloody and intense, in which the characters are enmeshed.

Immersive, enjoyable, and historic too, loved it!
