It’s a shame that such a beautiful and well done show is littered with such stupid comments about language. Seriously it’s not that big of a deal.

Shogun is a great historical adventure set in Japan's past telling the story of the Samurai and their rulers. A Must Watch and I hope the series continues after season 1.

Masterpiece.

That's all anyone needs to know when trying to figure out if watching Shōgun is worth the time and energy.

This miniseries should be required viewing for anyone in the entertainment industry to comprehend what good story telling and construction of a series is.

This should be the bar, the gold standard in quality in every respect that shows should endeavour to achieve. Not just in historical drama but every genre!

We have had a constant diet of empty, lifeless garbage flood our screens (for the most part), expecting easy money making profits while dishing out crap.

We don't expect the lavish expense that has gone into Shōgun as the norm, but do expect decent story writing without today's continual political agenda bashing the audience. We watch shows to get lost in the world and the story being told to us.

We refuse the incessant garbage. We demand stories written by people, not a room full of monkeys, or AI and we want those writers to be passionate and well versed in the story 'world' they are writing about. No more compromise, no more 'calling it in'.

Audiences deserve better, and Shōgun piqued our desire for exceptional story telling and crafting for the screen. The vast library of modern entertainment is a waste of money and time.

Are people really upset because they weren't using actual Portuguese? Come on, first, y'all are mad because it's in Japanese and you don't want to read the subtitles? Just focus on watching it, it's one episode a week, what's the harm?

Secondly, what's the point of a show if it's all subtitled? 😂

Some American viewers are already annoyed because it's in Japanese and they don't want to read subtitles all the time. Now imagine Portuguese with subtitles for the entire series.

Absolutely love the show! I generally dont leave written reviews but was compelled to do so here. I can see some people complaining that it's too Japanese and others complaining that it's not Portuguese enough. Firstly, it's in Japanese as its set in Japan and a lot of viewers have increasingly become accustomed to native language shows and reading subtitles ie the whole anime genre, Netflix shows such as squid games, money heist etc so I don't really see a problem here. Secondly I suppose the Portuguese language being substituted for English brings in a larger audience (despite the half thats spoken in japanese). Come people, stop nitpicking to put off viewers! Again, love the show and would recommend it to anyone.

Best series of the decade, it’s going to be hard for the competition to do better in terms of direction, cinematography, set design, costumes, and acting quality
