Good Enough
Japanese Drama '' Shogun '' is a historical drama based on the same-titled novel.The series has an optimal atmosphere, with costumes and settings being excellent! The lighting and the camera filters also aided in creating the right mood.
In addition, the drama had killer performances by everyone in the cast but, especially, the leads and the female lead more precisely. She was a storm indeed!
As for the story, it was a political thriller with nice twists and an interesting ending.
So, overall, eight out of ten.

10/10 Perfection in TV Show
I tend to stay away from TV shows with lots of subtitles, usually to my detriment, but when I saw they had created Shogun I had to try. I'm glad I did. Literally after 20 mins of the first episode I was fully engrossed to the point I forgot it had subtitles. The production, acting, storyline, everything about this show ozzes class, emotion, depth and attention to detail. It's like being transported back to the beginning of 17th century Japan, the culture, customs and way of life on full display. The real genius of the novel and this TV show is the story of the westerner in the East, though his eyes you take the journey with him and also you grow with him as you slowly appreciate the resilience, dedication and honour of the Japanese people. I highly recommend this show, it's a worthy winner of every award it has won, all that's left to say is ...roll on season 2!Was this review helpful to you?
