Blue Eye Samurai is fantastic.
It's the best thing I've seen on TV or in the movies in years. It's like if Tarantino made a movie that wasn't just about people being cool and talking crazy shit, but with real good story and character development and stuff.

It's also worth noting that almost all attempts by major studios to develop compelling stories with compelling female leads fail, whereas BES just nails it.
