[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 606091, member: 1211"] Shogun on FX/Hulu (2024) Never read the book. Never watched the earlier series. Didn't really have this on my radar, but caught the first few minutes of an episode because I have the DVR set to record three minutes over. I do have an interest in Japan and Japanese culture by way of music (punk). I missed the first three episodes and had to sit through the absurd amount of commercials on their free streaming (no FF allowed). Recommended. As they give dates, I would be curious to know how historically accurate some of the customs and West interaction is. I think Japanese culture and traditions are cool...from the limited knowledge I have...but the protocol to every single thing had to be tedious to live through, much like all the nonsense the Edwardians concocted a couple hundred years ago. It acts as a great reminder that men...especially old men...love to tell other people what to do, and that fact is not bound by culture, religion, or anything else. [/QUOTE]
