@Matt You're welcome.
I'm hoping that Ghost of Yotei will give me similar vibes when it comes out later this year. Blue Eye Samurai was great.

A couple of recommends from us:
Smoke on AppleTV+ - good cop drama about an arson investigator and police detective assigned to help him partnering up to catch two serial arsonists.
Sandman Season 2 on Netflix - seems to be following the story fairly faithfully from what I can remember having read it 20 years ago. Neil Gaiman's mythology-hopping fantasy madness at its finest. -
I watched the AMC Interview with the Vampire series over the last week or two and enjoyed it.
The show is a cover version or remix of the original novel: Louis is a Creole pimp at the turn of the twentieth century, rather than being a white plantation owner a hundred or more years earlier; Claudia is older and black; and Daniel Molloy, the interviewer, is aged up and gives off definite Anthony Bourdain vibes, whereas the original could be replaced by "an Anderson Cooper cardboard cutout" according to one website I saw.
I think that it's cleverer than the books. There's a line in "The Vampire Lestat" where Lestat accuses Louis of twisting the story to suit an agenda, but the series takes this idea of unreliable narrators and runs with it as a more central theme.
