Might want to check this one out.
Even with half of it in subtitles, after two episodes, I recommend giving it a try.

Is this thread about Sho Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem? If so, I have a few thoughts …

Not a bad episode yet.
Sucks waiting until next week to resume, as I tend to be forgetful these days. Perhaps I'll wait for conclusion, and binge.

I thought there would be more interest....
Good show!

Sugoi desu ne. The plot's awesome, the dialogue is pretty solid ( maybe a little too expositional at times, but that's unavoidable in a show that covers so much), the sets and cinematography are some of the best I've ever seen in a television show, and the actors all sell their roles completely.
Anna Sawai...wa sugoi bijin desu ne.

I watched the first episode and it's really good.
The subtitle thing is odd. There are 3 main languages: Japanese, Portuguese, English. They do subtitles for when they speak Japanese........but not for Portuguese/English. I understand the choice, but takes some getting used to.
And obviously this is based off the book which is loosely based off of history.......but to me it would be fascinating just to have a show based mostly off the actual history.

Has anyone read the novel and/or seen the 1980 NBC adaptation? I like the FX version so much that I might check 'em out later on this year.
There's a 50-episode 1983 NHK television show, Tokugawa Ieyasu, that chronicles the life of Tokugawa (Toranaga) more accurately than Shogun does, but I don't think it touches on his relationship with Adams (Blackthorn) at all. Regardless, I might check it out too.

What did ya'll think of that finale?
I really like it. Major spoilers:
Great show.

Yabushige's execution's one of my favorites scenes of the entire series. I didn't expect for the show to end in a massive battle (simply because of the episode's runtime), but I also didn't expect for his final conversation with Toranaga to wrap so much up.
Great show.
Overall I liked it.
Overall 9/10 series and one of the few in the last 10 years I have watched live.
I really enjoy feudal Japanese history so I thought the series was great. Never read the book or saw the original mini series so I can't say how close the show stays to the original. The ending tied things up well enough, but I have to wonder if they weren't angling for a sequel.

Renewed for multiple seasons.
With Sanada back, I guess it'll be continuing from season one with new material instead of adapting the other books.
