Streaming Shogun (use spoilers for big story events)

Shogun is far better than House of the Dragon...

Killed it at the Emmys with 18 wins including best drama and best actor and actress awards.

What an amazing show. That period of Japanese history is fascinating.

Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada were absolutely mesmerising on screen.

A second season has apparently been green lit.

About to watch the final episode on my flu couch and what an awesome binge it has been!

And done

Like AFDogs I struggled through Ep 1 four times until I cracked it finally and it was no looking back

I think what I enjoyed was the dialogue in crucial scenes. It was not rushed but allowed to play out and give it the time and space to sink in which reminded me of the early seasons of GoT.

Filming for S02 starts in Jan 2026 so hopefully as mentioned above, they have managed to build a story that holds true to S01.

I remember watching the original on VHS back in Year 8. I wasn't allowed to watch it when it first aired because it ran too late on school nights so when it was replayed the old VHS was used to record and watch over the weekends. Dont ask me what I remember of it, it was 40 odd years ago

(As an aside, I wish the streamers would also turn their attention to Indian-British era of history.)

The show inspired me to go back to Japan late last year and it was a great trip so many thanks to Shogun indeed.
