Where to Watch Shogun
- BrightEmberMarch 14, 2026Pretty damn good. Historical series that's got gorgeous sets, costumes, acting, and fantastic themes. It really goes in depth on culture and the brutality of the times, painting it in a very interesting light. The language is almost never translated, and almost never needs to be, which is extremely impressive as most modern projects certainly aren't capable of that nowadays. A really fantastic mini-series.
