Shogun (FX/Hulu) - February 2024 :ohhh:

[Kooley_High]

Judging by the reception, i think this will be a slow rise in popularity.

Can I watch this with my 8 year old daughter? She’s seen every Marvel movie…..

If you let your 8year old watch Game of Thrones then go ahead

Not sure how historically accurate this is, highly doubt it's accurate at all since they already invaded Korea, but either way it's a necessary plot device.

Not only that there are plenty of aspects throughout the show that dont portray the Japanese as incompetent people. Even in the book John makes comments on how big and clean the cities are compared to Europe. The Japanese look down on him for not even bathing. Focusing on this one segment thats clearly a plot device and not looking at the whole is disingenuous.

Edit: A this point you could even say John is just trying to show his worth as to not get killed by Toranaga.

It's been a few years since I read the book so I can't recall all the details but for a book written in 1975 by an Australian, who was a Japanese POW during WW2, it is extremely respectful of Japan.

There are historical inaccuracies and as far as I remember he went a bit over the top with Japanese violence and sexual stuff. James Clavell might be @Tony D'Amato grandfather the way he was checking for dikk sizes

The book is over 1100 pages long so I really hope the TV show is a slow burn and doesn't rush through things.

This show is reinforcing my dislike of Christian missionaries and proselytization

Couldn't imagine watching this with an English dub

I don’t even know what it’s about to be honest. Just hear people I trust raving about it and she’s on March break so looking for something to watch. As long as it isn’t too realistically violent or scary she’ll be fine.
