📺 Shōgun

Last week, while browsing on DisneyPlus, I found a show called Shōgun.

Lately, tv shows have been disappointing at best. Therefore, I had a low expectation of this show. However, the show pleasantly surprised me. Few years ago, I played Ghost of Tsushima  on my PS5. That game managed to immerse me in the world of Japan in a way that no other game has. The same applies to Shōgun. From the beautifully designed sets to to the delicately crafting clothing, it is created with so much care. I watched 10 episodes in 3 days.

Usually, I whinge that I do not have time for TV. Well, the truth is, like anything else in life, we make time for things that we really want.

I do not want to spoil anything for anyone but all I will say is that if you are remotely interested in Japan and/or its culture; you owe it to yourself to at the very least check out its trailer on YouTube.

The show's ending was not as impressive and was anti-climatic but the journey it took me through its 10 episodes was simply extraordinary.
