Shôgun (2024)
Very boring
20 April 2024 - 43 out of 64 users found this review helpful.
Show has an interesting setting and premise, however after the first 3 episodes it really started dragging itself along at an extremely boring pace. Lots of drama for basically no reason, not much progression and NO BATTLES after hyping up to a war for several episodes.
When I started watching the show, I would describe it as Japanese GoT (I know it's based on a book, but that is kind of the premise sold to the uninformed Disney+ watcher). But compared to GoT, nothing happens to keep me really invested.
The set design and costumes are awesome, as are the very few fight scenes (save for the latest one in ep 9 where everything is pitch black if you don't have a fancy OLED tv).
