Celluloid editorial verdict
What is Pachinko about?
Across four generations and three languages, a Korean family's saga unfolds from Japanese-occupied Busan to 1980s Tokyo and New York — a sweeping, time-braided adaptation of Min Jin Lee's novel about exile, endurance and the debts children owe the women who survived.

Critic Reviews
Pachinko Review: A Diaspora Epic Told in Three Languages and Four Generations
★★★★★
Apple TV+'s Pachinko braids decades of Korean diaspora history into a single family's endurance, colour-coding its Korean and Japanese dialogue to make the politics of language itself part of the drama.
A ravishing, deeply humane epic of survival and identity — one of the most ambitious and moving series of its era. Extraordinary.
