Beautifully rendered...

Slash Film

Pachinko is a story told in pieces, but the pieces are more vibrant, earnest, and stirring than most any other show on TV today.

South China Morning Post

For all its impressive staging and meaningful dialogue, the show can’t quite capture the objective scope of the original.

Hollywood Reporter

Pachinko is a harrowing portrait of suffering balanced against an elating tale of familial resilience and female strength.

Collider

Pachinko is a triumph of visual storytelling...
