Just finished the show a couple of days ago and I straight up went to the r/shogun subreddit to go through the discussions lol. It is such a great show, I loved it. The cast was perfect and the cinematography was so good! Highly recommened if you’re into historical dramas and action
Many things to recommend this show: complex character-driven drama & moments of quiet contemplation punctuated by sudden & visceral violence; the most important characters aren’t always who you might expect (as in: men & colonial interlopers aren’t always as powerful as they think they are…); the way translation is depicted is brilliant & subtle. I could go on. A must watch if you love confident, thoughtful and surprising storytelling.
