I was having a conversation last night that wasn't exactly optimistic. It was one that detailed the struggle to find 'good' media these days. One that explored the fact that for a while, there hasn't been much to watch. Where television shows have declined massively in quality, and the world of feature length films is difficult to navigate. Hollywood has recently managed to learn that films don't need massive budget…More

It lived up to my expectations, I devoured this one in a couple of days hehe. "Shogun" is an epic drama series based on James Clavell's classic novel and from 2024.😃 The series takes place in feudal Japan in the 17th century and follows the English sailor John Blackthorne, p…More
Te gustaron las 8 temporadas de Games Of Thrones? o las 2 temporadas de la precuela llamada The House Of Dragon? Pues te aseguro que esta miniserie llamada Shōgun te va a encantar, porque podemos ver muchas cosas similares como hombres y mujeres ambiciosos, celos, traición y lo que más destaca es la búsqueda absoluta del poder por encima de todo. Claro que no todo es bueno en esta serie, hay algo que no me gustó par…More
Intento ahora hacer memoria y me pregunto cuándo fue la última vez, que me senté frente a mi vieja laptop Dell 360 para ver alguna serie. Algo que era muy común en mí sabes, prácticamente especulaba con los socios del barrio con esta especie de don o algo parecido. Ese poder de ver una temporada completa en solo días, de cualquier serie del momento en la muchachada. Pero ¿qué pasó, qué motivo me alejaría de algo que…More
Source Shogun has come to an end, episode 10 is a big bag of mix feelings depending from where you look at it, lots of things have finally come to light but the most important is Toronaga himself, once during the first episodes both Taiko and Mariko mention how Toronaga comes from a family who once were Shogun so perhaps its a tradition within the family although things have change now days and its not that easy to…More
Shogun: A memorable season finale to an epic story. Episode 10 of Shogun gives us a masterful and emotional conclusion to a series that has proven to be one of the best of the year. War, an inevitable reality Ishido's statement to the Board of Regents resonates strongly: "War is inevitable." This idea has been there as a shadow since the beginning of the season, and now it is finally becoming a reality. The tragedy…More
Shogun: Crimson Sky - A review of episode 9 of season 1 The Shogun series is one of the most captivating series i've watched over time. Yep, a series with many suspicions and many intrigues. Yep, it's interesting that as we get closer to the end of the season, the tension builds. Mariko struggles with her own feelings for Blackthorne, Yabushige doubts her loyalty, and Toranaga sets in motion his ambitious plan to in…More
Source Sadly Shogun (2024) is coming to and end, today was episode 9 that brings more context to the story specially how things were between Mariko and Lady Ochiba when they were little growing up together and how things currently are, they know each other very well, I think part of the hate from Lady Ochiba to Toronaga has to do with Mariko moving away, if her father didn't plan to kill Lady Ochiba father Mariko wo…More
Enemies are everywhere, and friends are nowhere. > Los enemigos están en todas partes y los amigos en ninguna Source Edited in Photoshop & Canva App This new adaptation of James Clavell's successful novel caught me by surprise. I had no previous news, nor had I seen any news about the filming. It was when they released the first teaser trailer that I heard about it and my expectations were high. Already the trailer…More
Source / Fuente Greetings friends and welcome to my publication. Several weeks ago I saw many advertisements for a series called Shogun , the truth from the first moment I saw it captured my attention, I really like movies and series of the genre, even more when we talk about Japanese. This series is very interesting and has a very exciting dramatic story, it tells you a lot about the history and culture of these pe…More
Source Shogun Episode 8, The Abyss of Life, does honor its name when we see so many people willing to die for honor while others didn't run away but did have different opinion on what was next for them going against everything they have work on that is the case of Hiromatsu who have decided to honor his word and everything that he have work on during his entire life but on the other hand his grandson Buntaro believe…More
As excited as I get about a good movie it is really the series that are excellent that truly do it for me. The reason for this is obvious in that a series, done well, is many more hours of entertainment than any film is. The problem with most series is that the studios end up getting greedy when something does well and they will intentionally drag it out with what I call "lull" episodes that normally take place in t…More
Source It is the first episode that you can point out as a "slow" episode but what is slow for this mini series? I don't think it was compared to how other series slow down to then ramp up to full rush of dopamine, how long will it be until we have this great battle so it is understandable that on episode 7 things pause for a bit. Toronaga and what is left of his army go to his younger brother Saeki for help, usuall…More
Source I have always mention that this series based on books, novels or any other type of material that already exist might deviate from the truth or original story although feels like their main purpose is to bring new users to this novels and not specifically to the TV series, they have to change some scenes and characters because usually TV series viewers are not the same or similar to readers, Shogun certainly d…More
In current times it is becoming increasingly difficult to find series or movies that at least serve the purpose of entertaining. New content of all genres is broadcast practically every day and life would not be enough for us to be able to see it all, but the truth is that perhaps 95% (the percentage that comes to mind) is garbage content or of little interest, well, for at least for me. I personally don't confine m…More
Source This series doesn't stop to amaze me, episode four was full of surprises and I have mention before that you never fell lost or that things make no sense, the only problem for some viewers would be reading subtitles if you are not a fast reader. As expected Toronaga comes back with an Army, I thought after he left the village there will be scenes of him gathering their men to bring them back to EDO but it all…More
Source John Blackthorne is moving fast in the ranks but not because of his own means so far but because he as become the perfect obstacle for the Council in favor of Toronaga, Yoshii has use him as a pawn on this, so far; silent war he has against the other four most powerful men in Japan. What intrigue me the most is how far will Yabushige will remain alive playing the double agent game, for the most part he makes…More
The second episode is as high as the first one. Actors, dialogues, script, pacing, atmosphere, set design, realism and devotion to those times, everything turned out well. At this point, I don't know yet how I will rate this series. However, I am almost sure that I will be able to compare it to the best historical shows, such as Rome, Boardwalk Empire, Vikings (first season), Gilded Age, Pacific, The Band of Brother…More
Source Shogun (2024) is turning into one of the best TV series I have seen ever, I think many viewers agree been that its online score remains so high after every episode, every scene is interconnected even though there are many characters on this story every single one of them have to do with the other in the middle of this war that is starting to shape up, consider there was already a war going on specially agains…More
Source Shogun is everything I expected, there was not a minute I felt lost on the first two episodes, everything makes sense from start to finish, there are certain scenes that are very classic and predictable also if you have been watching the trailers and clips release along the way of the past two months then most likely you would know most of the story, only sad part about it is that this is a ten episodes mini…More
