I’m still digesting the Shogun finale from last night. No big action set pieces, but that didn’t make the finale any less powerful, effective or poignant. This was never a show about the action – it was about the storytelling, the characters, the language. And it was consistently brilliant. I’m going to say it, but it might be the best miniseries I’ve ever seen. With it’s political machinations, most people have likened it to Game of Thrones. But I think the show that I most liken it to is Chernobyl – another miniseries where authenticity was priority. Just because Shogun is fictional, it didn’t make it feel any less real. I hope they don’t make a Season 2. Don’t spoil the legacy.
