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

cac was ready to crash out when they suggested he took another bath

I was just thinking about something unique about this show's universe:

This is maybe the only 'universe' I can think of were just the *knowledge* of the world map is a state secret enough to get you killed.
The fact that Japan is actually a highly advanced civilization is a state secret that the Portuguese would kill to keep from Protestant Europeans, and the fact that Portugal has fortress colony island bases is a secret that they and the Christian regents would kill to keep from the non-Christian daimyos.

I can't think of any other 'similar' show that had anything like that idea. Maybe the idea in "Dune" that only the Fremen know that there a millions of Fremen, as opposed to thousands.

Did he kill himself too? I hate to be racist but I’m having a real hard time telling these characters apart. From what i can tell, that was the lead characters right hand man’s son in law? And that guys son is married to the chick who’s interpreting for him?

I think he did.

Episode 1 was

 

[trap101-ETHout-Allegri-In]

Just off the first two episodes I already feel like this is the strongest show out of Tokyo Vice and House Of Ninjas. Had my attention 100%.

Been missing this kind of intrigue. Japanese Ashur Yabushige is already my favorite

@Neo The Resurrected ONE you watching this?

@hex This deserves a sticky

I just started peeping House of Ninjas off of you mentioning it.... I am episode 1 but I like it so far. But I'm a sucker for ninja ish and seeing modern interpretations with ninjas is few amd fsr between

"It was my understanding you were loyal to our Lord" lol haha

 

[BobbyBooshay]

I like this show, so far. It's beautifully shot and intriguing.

Yeah very

Ghost of tsushima vibes

 

[Flexington]

Definitely enjoyed and I can't lie I thought this was going to be 1:1 with history, I didn't realize it was based off the novel.

I can see the inspiration/parallels with history though.

Spoiler

It's pretty much a retelling/twisting of Tokugawa Ieyasu (Toranaga) and William Adams (Anjin) story.
We've got Nioh the show

"It was my understanding you were loyal to our Lord" lol haha

Cold as hell how his men were in sync after he said it.

 

[Diondon]

Shorty pretty AF
Whole series feels like I'm playing Ghost of Tsushima, I even recognize some of the armors
Very atmospheric and accurate good job

Why do they call english portuguese?

 

[Flexington]

Why do they call english portuguese?

Because they’re “speaking” Portuguese but since this show is aimed at an English audience 90% of the Portuguese is in English.

Otherwise the show would be 99% subtitles with only the English dude speaking English occasionally.

You know an American audience would not be up for that
