It's centered on a culture that is very structured, precise, formal and patient. It's during a time when travel was by foot, and battles were first discussed between warring parties by courier. I love how long everything takes to move forward. It adds to the immersion (for me, at least).

It sucks there's only one episode left now, and no plans for any other seasons. I wonder if we get any spinoffs at least.

I would just like to point out that I don't know the story (neither the real-life one nor the 1975 written adaptation of it that this show is based on)... but having said that, I was really not at all happy about episode 9's ending.

This IGN article fully encapsulates my thoughts on Shogun. Unpopular opinion. Shogun is better than GoT. Don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed most of GoT. But Shogun is a pure masterclass, and while fictional in some parts, it's roots are based in history.

Crap, I didn't think that would be a spoiler... other than to allude to something happening (which "something happens" is common at the end of the episode before a finale).

Sorry!

Sorry!
You spoiled nothing.
Something surely had to happen sometime.
Looking forward to watching E9 tonight

We have a Shogun thread if anyone wants to bump it to discuss spoilers.

https://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=195741

Will say the episode 10 description, that has been public for weeks, provided more of a spoiler than FanIn80’s vague comments.
