Drama to action ratio is high. Even in the rare occasions there is some action, it's not impressive. Lies, manipulation, and pornographic violence, needless to say, with the instillation typical Hollywood-driven western criticism of Japanese culture due to its nonconformity with western misandry. Intriguing at first but the overdramatic acting, application of western morality or lack thereof on eastern culture, and lack of creativity turn it into a tedious watch. If you enjoy drama, feeling better about yourself because you're not in the east, and the usual backstabbing plot, you might enjoy. Otherwise, a sleeping aid.

Edit:

after watching additional episodes, had to reduce the rating from a 6 to a 5. So much overdrama in every single scene. So boring. How can you be a man and watch this thing!? That Mariko and her pretentious whiny voice. Ugh. I hope that she doesn't miraculously survive the door bombing even though I don't intend to watch this series anyway.

Drama to action ratio is just the same as Game of Thrones S01. Battles are so much greater after an appropriate period of story building. So I would have some patience and watch the season fully before determining it's al drama and no suspense.

Also, where do you see Western superior morale in this production? There's a single Western role and you can see the clash between two cultures there at times, which is fairly realistic, no? He's constantly called a barbarian and so all his ways and morales. I really don't see where Western morales are supposedly depicted as superior.
