SHOGUN
Created for television by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks
Based on James Clavell’s 1975 novel
The 10-episode limited series is set in Japan in the year 1600, at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. Producer Hiroyuki Sanada stars as “Lord Yoshii Toranaga” who is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him. When a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village, its English pilot, “John Blackthorne” (Cosmo Jarvis), comes bearing secrets that could help Toranaga tip the scales of power and devastate the formidable influence of Blackthorne’s own enemies — the Jesuit priests and Portuguese merchants. Toranaga’s and Blackthorne’s fates become inextricably tied to their translator, “Toda Mariko” (Anna Sawai), a mysterious Christian noblewoman and the last of a disgraced line. While serving her lord amidst this fraught political landscape, Mariko must reconcile her newfound companionship with Blackthorne, her commitment to the faith that saved her and her duty to her late father.
Along with Hiroyuki Sanada, Cosmo Jarvis and Anna Sawai, "Shogun" stars Tadanobu Asano, Hiroto Kanai, Takehiro Hira, Moeka Hoshi, Tokuma Nishioka, Shinnosuke Abe, Yuki Kura and Fumi Nikaido.
The limited series will drop on Hulu in the U.S., as well as Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in all other territories in February of 2024.

THANKS TO THE STRONG PERFORMANCES OF ITS MOSTLY JAPANESE CAST, THE GRITTY ACTION SEQUENCES AND LAVISH PRODUCTION DESIGN, AND ITS POETIC STORYTELLING, CRITICS SAY THIS ADAPTATION OF JAMES CLAVELL'S NOVEL IS A "GENUINE MASTERPIECE."

Critics Consensus: Visually sumptuous and enriched with cultural verisimilitude, Shōgun is an epic reimagining that outdoes the original.

Currently rated 100% at Rotten Tomatoes with 25 critic reviews counted.
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/shogun_2024/s01
I read the book in high school so I have been waiting for a modern retelling onscreen that would be able to do justice to this James Clavell classic. I have also read (and seen documentaries) about the biographies of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the storied life of William Adams, one of the first white samurai. The original 1980 television miniseries (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080274/) was highly regarded by critics and fans alike.
Needless to say, my expectations for this FX series are high, like at Game of Thrones or Rome level high. I'm glad to hear the critics universally love it and I can't wait to watch this in Dolby Atmos + Dolby Vision. Too bad James Clavell isn't around to get to see this too.

Plus, BC has a very large Asian population and it would not be difficult to find hundreds of extras that look Oriental.

FX‘s Shōgun came out of the gate strong with its streaming debut.
According to Disney, the premiere episode of the limited series amassed 9M views globally across Hulu, Disney+ and Star+ in its first six days on these services. Internationally, this makes Shōgun the No. 1 general entertainment series for the company.

Kamusta sound nito? Naglipat kasi ako so di pa talaga nakasetup ht ko. Worth it ba intayin ko muna maayos or negligible sound aspect?

It's only been 3 episodes (with a still-developing story) but my experience with high-budget productions tells me that battle scenes, cavalry, swordfights, guns, cannons, etc., are best appreciated with your home theater working 100%.

Last episode na next week. Ano kaya ok panoorin after? Maganda daw Fallout pero sawa na ako sa mga post-apocalyptic theme, kahit nga Station Eleven hindi ko na na-appreciate when usually I like those.
Have you tried Ripley? I started it. It's really good. I haven't started it but I'm hearing really good things about Baby Reindeer. Both are on Netflix.

I thought no plans for season 2 daw.Sorry, it's just my impression that the way the series ends that there might be a season 2. Sadly, wala nga daw.
"Despite the show’s massive success, it will likely not receive a Season 2 renewal. Co-creator and showrunner Justin Marks told The Direct in February that Season 1 concludes "exactly where the book ends.”"

Ganyan talaga ending sa book and kahit sa original TV series. Walang big action set piece. In a way, parang GoT siya na sa penultimate episode lahat ng big scenes nangyayari... except in this case there is no season 2.

I have not read the book and I already forgot all about the original series, but I agree that the finale felt somewhat underwhelming. After all the drama, intrigue and expectations, we don't get a big action / war set piece. But overall, this is definitely still a very excellent mini series.
I don’t know. I felt very much satisfied by the resolution. I found the finale quite moving.
Post by: Disharmony on Apr 24, 2024 at 02:22 PM
I suppose the disappointment comes from people having the wrong expectations. Akala nila masusulit na at mapapagpag yung amag sa Dolby Atmos setup nila with the Erasmus carpet bombing cannonballs, Buntaro "John Wicking" his way into the battlefield, while Toranaga and Ishido clash swords for 35 mins na may Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki. Instead they find the Erasmus in shambles and a flash forward, lmao.
Sabi nga ni Saeki walang beauty and exciting sa warfare, and the show constantly reminds viewers that.

The FX epic just ended its 10-episode run. Will it remain a limited series, or is there more story to tell?
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/shogun-finale-season-two-1235878683/
With regards to the "final battle" discussions, here are the comments from the series creators....
Quote
Toranaga tells Yabushige what’s going to happen in the future. We see a hazy version of a final battle, but we’re denied the actual battle. Was that a difficult decision at all?
MARKS: I think the book denies us this, too. And that’s what I really appreciate about the book is that you really, even turning the last page, you’re like, but what about…? And you realize it doesn’t matter if you’ve really understood what this story is trying to be. Never for a second in the writer’s room did we ever really say that we were after [a final battle]. Not because we couldn’t afford it — although we couldn’t. But because Clavell was not telling that kind of story.
KONDO: It’s that line from Toranaga: “Why is it always that the people who are so eager to go into battle are the ones who have never been in it?”
Post by: Disharmony on Apr 25, 2024 at 02:01 PM
I guess this is just me na sawa na sa mga extended flashy battles and I gravitate more towards shows that are well fleshed out and novelistic. Sana makakita pa ako mga shows na ganito na malaki scale with amazing storytelling.

I tried searching youtube for the ending of the original miniseries, and if I'm not mistaken, the battle of Sekigahara was not fully shown also, though it narrated what became of Ishido in the aftermath of the battle.1980 pa ba yung original miniseries starring Richard Chamberlain? Eto ba yun? I'm using Stremio, try ko watch ito.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240426/450ed63aeac91999900e71ebc112982e.jpg)
