Shōgun (2024) TV Thread

I binged on the first 4 episodes yesterday, I'm hooked.

Episode 4 was excellent character/story building. The ending took things up a level.

I'll probably wait and binge on the rest once it has all played out.

This is so good. Feudal Japan was fecking ruthless with honour holy shit.

Yeah, feudal Japan seems like it was one of the bleakest times and places of all time. Absolutely fascinating

I find Yabushige absolutely hilarious and have to keep reminding myself he's the dude who boils people for giggles.

Enjoyed the finale. The Toranaga and Yabushige scene was well done.

Excellent storytelling & acting throughout the season. One of the best shows I've seen in recent times.

Yabushige was so awesome. I want a spin-off about him consisting of only scenes where he takes a deep breath and does something shite.

 

[Franco Pinion]

Brilliant series on the whole. Hope the audiobook is well done...

Really enjoyed the series on a whole. The final episode felt a bit weak, but that was likely because episode 9 was just so tense and good.

Production on next season begins early next year. Cosmo Jarvis returning alongside the already confirmed Sanada.

Part two of Shōgun is set ten years after the events of the first season and continues the historically-inspired saga of these two men from different worlds whose fates are inextricably entwined.

Finally got round to watching this, finished last night. Amazing.

Everyone is exceptional in it but special mention to Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai, the screen presence from the pair of them was off the charts.

I'm tempted to pick up the book now. Looks like one hell of a read but I was absolutely gripped from start to finish with the show and I imagine the book takes that up a few more levels.
