My favorites in order from fav to least: Tai pan, Shogun, Noble House, King Rat, Gai Jin, Whirlwind. I do think that King Rat is probably his ‘best’, but it’s not my favorite. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for this series but I do think there are a lot of elements that are pretty problematic around consent, etc.
