Netflix YouTube channel has recently released the full Episode 6: 'All Evil Dreams & Angry Words' Special Edition (length: 34:05) and it does not appear to be region-locked. It is unknown how long this full episode will be available for free viewing/streaming.
Set in 17th-century Edo-period Japan, Blue Eye Samurai follows Mizu (voiced by Maya Erskine), a mixed-race master of the sword who lives a life in disguise seeking to deliver revenge. “It’s an Edo-period tale of revenge — Kill Bill meets Yentl,” said co-creator Amber Noizumi.
Wife and husband team Noizumi and Michael Green (Logan, Blade Runner 2049) co-created Blue Eye Samurai. Sharpen your swords to prepare for this stunningly realized new animated series coming to Netflix on Nov. 3.
“We want people to sink into it and be taken by the story and the level of artistry and forget they’re watching animation,” said Green. “We would love this to cross over into every interest — that if you like The Witcher, if you like animation, if you like Game of Thrones, if you like The Crown, if you like historical drama, if you like Shakespeare in Love, if you like Tarantino movies, there’s something in Blue Eye Samurai for you.”

I've been recommended to watch this series too. Not a bad deal if you like a different kind of samurai I reckon…!
