Shogun

I wasn't as impressed with it as some, but it was still a good watch. Nowhere near peak GOT IMO.

I don't think that's a particularly fair comparison. GoTs better moments where often a lot louder then those in Shogun, not too mention that the former has extreme fantasy elements that help prop up the more tense moments. Not to say that they don't share themes of course, but GoTs certainly felt a bit more broad.

I think peak GOT is better than Shogun by some margin, that's just my assessment. Someone compared it to GOT earlier, and that made me ponder on it.

It may well upset some people - but no one is going to make them watch it!

CSI:Tokyo 1601, I can see it now.

FX has announced that they are working to develop two more seasons of their hit series #Shōgun, based on the novel by James Clavell.

That should upset some purists in here.

Ooh I like this! If it can expand on the show and match the quality, I'm all in. Really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this remake, much more than the 1980s version. I don't have an issue with them milking it for another 8 seasons and using their creative license to weave multiverse into the story.

How Shogun will go on – without James Clavell

The further adventures of John Blackthorne? A Lady Mariko prequel? Or one giant battle? Here’s all that may happen in Shogun seasons 2 and 3
