So it's in Japan and speaking in Japanese - great! It envolves the Portuguese Empire and Portuguese people speak English? Come on, you could have tried more and i totally agree with the respect for Japanese language, but no respect for the Portuguese language? I didn't even finish watching the first episode - very disappointing.

What a boring show, it builds up to a huge battle and then you never see it. Toronaga allows friends and family to be killed all for his master plan, which looks more like bad writing than a thought out idea. Every episode finished and each time I would make excuses that it’s all leading up to something important or something exciting was coming up only to be let down. All that reading for nothing

The level of historical accuracy in this show is astounding. Much attention to detail in the clothing, architecture, armaments, and cultural practices. It neither romanticizes nor condemns 16th century Japanese culture, it simply portrays it, good and bad, side by side.

Shogun is the new benchmark for epic television.

In the realm of historical dramas, FX's "Shogun" stands tall as a monumental achievement in television. The series, an adaption of James Clavell's beloved novel, will no doubt be met with acclaim for it's riveting performances, exceptional writing, More

The series follows the advent More
