Best thing on TV right now!

Good to know they listen to the advisors, unlike some shows

they really put a lot of effort in this show and it should be appreciated. Nowadays shows like this are so rare

man... i almost cried for hiromatsu dono.... i had to remind myself that he is an actor and he is still alive out there sipping tea. that scene was intense...

Props to FX for opting to err on the side of quality over just profit! It's SUCH a good show! 😍

my japanese girlfriend couldnt understand what they are speaking in the film and said they speak in "old japanese". this just show how impressive and authentic this series is

Love the fact that the extras got paid and 10 times as much!

So far, it's at least in the top 5 shows of this decade.

Glad to see all the positive comments. I worked on the sets here in Vancouver, they were very fun to work on. Two of the castles were built here in studio and the village was in Port Moody also they did do a few scenes in Japan but it was mostly shot here.

By far the most unique take on this hit show. Every other video on YouTube repeats the same praises over and over again. It's great to understand the trials and tribulations behind this production. Good work WatchMojo.

Very good actors and actresses, particularly have enjoyed Moeki Hoshi portrayal of Fuji. Also really like how moody the scenes were just perfection.

a thoughtful well-written screenplay, masterful acting, and incredible attention to details makes the expenditure well worth it and will bring much more to FX as a reward for all of its efforts.

Shogun is incredible. 10/10 and worth every penny spent on it.

21st century film makers should learn from this amazing storytelling. The right use of visual effects, respect to culture and all are perfectly harmonised. And atmosphere of the show was so authentic even though it was taken shot in Vancouver and on the location in Japan was cancelled due to covid. The costumes was also authentic and all the props was orchestrared well-balanced. Tge full dedication of the actors/actresses and crews was so sincere. But most of the acting, they justidified the japanese culture. This one is a beautiful master piece. Next to the Last Samurai by Tom Cruise. I gotta have this in my collection and rewatch it. To Sawano Hiroyuki, my deep respect to his directing prowess. My deep gratitude to the great mind behind the storytelling.

Such an amazing series. It has some real emotions.

I was about to cancel my worthless Disney+ subscription until this came along. Best thing I've watched in years.

The weather, clouds, rain, mists and forests around Vancouver are an unsung co-star in many productions. They bring a somber, introspective mood to almost every scene. I grew up in Vancouver, so for me, normal. Most of the world finds it depressing. Geography and weather play a role in cinema which is under appreciated. The X-files lost it's way when it moved to California. Breaking Bad couldn't have been made anywhere but New Mexico. London, New York, the great Plains, all bring things to a production that is often essential.

This series is ICONIC... very entertaining.... i can't wait it to end, just to watch again!!
