Shōgun, set in feudal Japan, charts the collision of two ambitious men from different worlds and a mysterious female samurai: John Blackthorne, a risk-taking English sailor who ends up shipwrecked in Japan, a land whose unfamiliar culture will ultimately redefine him; Lord Toranaga, a shrewd, powerful daimyo, at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals; and Lady Mariko, a woman with invaluable skills but dishonorable family ties, who must prove her value and allegiance.

It would be nice if folks could comment on the show instead of arguing about inconsequential crap. That’s why comment sections keep getting disabled.

Lazeistheman2 2 points 1 year ago.

I would have to agree. Arguing about erroneous bull-crap is pretty lame. This show is actually pretty damn amazing. FX is pretty good when it comes to putting out new series. This show is very impressive and will only get better with time. First TV show I could say in over a year that I could attach that opinion too. Well scripted and the acting is impeccable.

Lol my comment got deleted. I was making a joke jeez. Guess it’s hard to see sarcasm in text ah well I thought it was funny

NoelCoyotebleu 2 points 1 year ago.

It’s basically impossible, via text. ☮️

Merrigan Able 3 points 11 months ago. 4/5 stars.

Enjoying this Japanese perspective of the excellent Clavell novel (which he based on the historic Tokugawa Ieyasu). While watching I’m constantly trying to recognize familiar locations. The majority of filming took place in Port Moody and Ucluelet, British Columbia… :}
An interesting mini doc about this series may be of interest…

I’m near Victoria. It’s always fun catching local spots, but it’s getting so common that it’s not even surprising anymore. We basically live in Hollywood now. Excited to see how they;re used in Shogun tho, starting now.

Our 51st state. JK, please don’t hit me.

Merrigan Able 2 points 10 days ago*. 4/5 stars.

Well that would be about 63 states (50 + 10 provinces and 3 territories)… ;)
Maybe that’s why King Charlie (Canada’s head of state) invited him for a visit? lol

lol hilarious, threatening to invade our country, good one haha. Actually we are not taking it lightly at all. We are terrified for our safety and preparing for invasion. And Americans just laughing.

grasshopper rex 1 points 10 days ago.

If you looked at my avatar, you would see where I stand. And yes, you have to be able to find the humor in absurd situations. And no, it isn’t actually going to happen. Look at how much of the nonsense has already been blocked or rolled back. Hell, we got less than 500 miles of that promised border wall with Mexico, and most of that was replacement for old structures already in place. Don’t let the fearmongering get to you. Saner heads will prevail in the end. Peace, my neighbor. :)

This show looks incredible. Someone pls explain to me why people are already hate voting on this show before it even releases…? Just disable the vote system on here at this point.

grasshopper rex 1 points 1 year ago*.

can’t say for certain, but it could be accidental. i did it once and there’s no way to take it back. or there could any number of stupid reasons some folks judge something without having seen it.

Alien 2 points 10 months ago.

Just a week after it was reported that Hiroyuki Sanada would return for another Shōgun season, FX and Hulu announced they are developing two new seasons of the acclaimed drama.
In an announcement on Thursday, FX revealed that it would be teaming up with the estate of author James Clavell — who wrote the original Shōgun novel in 1975 — to extend the story into two additional seasons. Shogun Seasons 2 and 3 are both currently in development, and a writers room is being assembled. Woohoo!

grasshopper rex 1 points 10 months ago.

I’m conflicted on this.

Alien 1 points 10 months ago.

I get it. It was the perfect ending to a perfect story.

15lnt3rs 2 points 1 year ago. 5/5 stars.

Can’t wait for the next episode XD

biker_71 2 points 1 year ago. 4/5 stars.

good show but not liking Cosmos impression of Tom Hardy, it’s kind of annoying.

kyocera301 1 points 1 year ago.

I thought he sounded more like Richard Burton.

The comments got my attention, as I had not heard of this series. Starting now, I am giving it a try. I remember Hiroyuki Sanada from Helix and thought he did well there. So thanks all for even the nonsense comments which got my attention.

Alien 3 points 1 year ago.

He’s very handsome, too.

Birdsforme 2 points 1 year ago.

Yup and the first episode was great. :)

GeminiSaga 1 points 3 months ago*. 5/5 stars.

Quality story and character-driven show. Will watch again.

redefender 1 points 1 year ago.

she playes so well like in the monarch legacy of monsters

starphlo 1 points 10 months ago. 3/5 stars.

There is spectacular scenery of Japan and some really good parts in this series. The lead actress carried the show. I just really didn’t care for the plot overall and got bored several times. Might have liked it more if it hadn’t been so dark and I didn’t have to read subs.

ziggycat2008 1 points 13 days ago.

A great show a lot of emotion tied up in it.

expresso 1 points 1 year ago. 5/5 stars.

Hiroyuki Sanada is one of my top 10 favorite actors and he’s getting a lot of great roles, this one too

Cheezatino 1 points 10 months ago. 5/5 stars.

Seasons 2 & 3 are in the works! Fantastic news for this fantastic show

JBwatchinmovies 1 points 6 months ago. 5/5 stars.

Loved it

JBwatchinmovies 1 points 6 months ago. 5/5 stars.

Best series I’ve watched in a while, I’m tough to please.

Artful as ever, typically Japanese, heart wrenchingly poetic with a decent amount of action too.

Rix 1 points 9 months ago.

Any links have English subtitles for aisan words?

Susan Queen 0 points 1 year ago.

So after all the comments - which made me laugh…is it worth watching? I’m a nuttah for Asian movies and series !

Farmboy41 5 points 1 year ago.

You are in for a treat then.

dampyiel2200 1 points 1 year ago.

Well after you watch it you can tell us. Because I was looking to see if this was worth watching also.

Susan Queen 1 points 1 year ago.

LOL omg now I’m scared…this sounds like a trap !

dampyiel2200 2 points 1 year ago.

Damn almost tricked you lol. I actually just finished the first episode was really good. So I think it’s worth a watch.

Susan Queen 1 points 1 year ago.

lol So cute ! …Ima eat it up over the weekend….thank you <3

shadowdragon -2 points 11 months ago.

Just finished the season and it was really good, up to a point. Roughly half way through, the show starts to really drag on, a lot of the things that happen seem rather pointless, and it’s hard to see if anyone has any idea what they’re actually doing. Then the show just kind of peters out to an end. Have to say, I was kind of disappointed. I think it would have been better if it was cut down to 8, or even 6 episodes.
