Shōgun - Reviews

An extraordinary historical epic with heart.

...is a rich text that has been expertly reinvented for the screen, proving that shows of this likeness can not only still be made, but can still achieve greatness. 

...a masterpiece, with an extremely talented cast performing in Japanese and English to tell a fascinating story about faith, sacrifice, and ambition.

...a genuinely remarkable achievement, the sort of epic, sweeping saga many might have wondered if television as a medium was still capable of creating. A bold, ambitious update of a classic...

...a mesmerising epic that goes big on the gore...

...looks great and feels unapologetically macho...

...deserves all the accolades it'll inevitably receive for these filmic elements, its most impressive feat is that it never lets them overshadow its storytelling and characterizations.

Nya ”Shogun” förvaltar sitt arv väl.
