Apple TV's Pachinko is Exquisite

Pachinko follows four generations of a Korean Family from Japanese occupied Korea to Japan, and the U.S. Its nonlinear storytelling is exquisitely told and it covers history that most westerners are unfamiliar with. Though I'm not Korean, my grandmothers also grew up under Japanese occupation in Taiwan, so in a way, I feel some personal connection to the story as it has me reflecting on my own family's journey. It's a piece of history that certainly contributes to my own complicated cultural identity and I'm grateful to see that reflected here and that this series has the platform that it has.
