I watched Shogun and you did an amazing job! I really hope there will be a Shogun 2. It was such a great series. I couldn't wait for the next week's episode! It turned out really amazing I loved it!!!

Shōgun was fabulous. Elegant and powerful. Very sad it’s finished.

I love his voice. The Mazda commercial with him in it is fire because of his voice.

Shogun is an amazing series. Everything about it was just beautiful and the acting was incredible.

As each episode was released, I would watch it three times through just to try to take in the whole spectacle (i.e., scenery, dialogue, clothing, mannerisms, movements, . . . this list could go on and on). Everything in the series has purpose and meaning and I'll be rewatching the series many, many more times in hopes of understand more.

Evening from the U.K and I just come across your post OMG it's a fantastic watch, I have always been interested in Japanese History and I watched it over 2 days, pack lunch and sofa, thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

[RAyarsley]

Shogun was brilliant. Not like the book, but brilliant by itself. I wish there was a bit more if the book about the love story in the background. All good actors, absolutely loved it, felt a bit sad that was the end...I wish it was stretched out for a season 2

I just started watching this series. It is very well done!

[MissJIF]

Yes! We desperately more cultural accuracy about Japan here in America. There's so much bs. Here for this! Nikkei diaspora, feel this.
Thank you for covering this

I feel like I instantly became a fan of his since seeing him as Scorpion in Mortal Kombat 2021 and as Hunter Bly in Army Of The Dead. First time I seen him on screen was when he was on Rush Hour 3 as Kenji.

[maricel.lucero]

this one made me cry for no other reason than loving him, so much, for so long 😔❤️

His role as Scorpion in Mortal Kombat was 🔥🔥🔥 #GetOverHere
