The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that Pachinko, the Apple TV+ series based on the National Book Award finalist novel by Min Jin Lee, is one of the most beautiful pieces of television in recent years. In a Globe special, Amber Dowling writes that Pachinko is now streaming its second season. Pachinko is a saga of survival that follows a Korean immigrant family across four generations. Creator Soo Hugh has brought the bestselling novel to life with a complex narrative told in three languages and cinematography that films across several countries -- including Vancouver in the first season and Toronto in Season 2. The result is an intimate portrayal of characters from 1910 to 1989 that resonates on a sweeping level. "That is the heart and soul of Pachinko: How do you create the intimate epic?" says Ms. Hugh. "How do you tell something huge, but in the language of close-ups? As generations go by, you always hope that your kids do better than you and sometimes the easiest way to mark that is by wealth. It's not the best way, but it does seem like the easiest way. In our show, our characters mistake that wealth for happiness and success to their detriment." At its core, the story is about identity and erasure.
