Shogun

I have been really enjoying Shogun on Hulu. This meme I saw on X made me smile (even though it was most likely a jab at grognards).

It perfectly sums up the way that Mariko came across as a slightly antagonistic translator.

I haven’t seen anything but the above meme, but I did enjoy the original Shogun series and novel.

I’ve heard that the new one is significantly shorter than the original series, but is that simply because the show only released a single season thus far, or is it a one-off that’s done now (and presumably compressed the storyline)?

Allan.

It was a one-off and is now done. I never saw the original, but I remember when it aired ("birth of the TV mini-series!").

I was good, but not terribly action-packed---more political. Still, anything that isn't hackneyed or "woke Hollywood" feels refreshing to me at this point. The exec producer was Japanese.
