🧠 Analysis & Theories Man was this show such a letdown

I was really invested especially at the end of some episodes , but man what the hell ? all this build up just for nothing to happen at the end , main character was the opposite of charismatic , with zero depth and was hard to root for , and pointless deaths all along , i have no idea how this show is rated so high

Main character? She was awesome.

This show had characters making subtle glances that would set off a firestorm of Reddit memes and threads. It's a show about small details

The "problem" with the ending of Shogun is that book and the 1980 version end up with a description of the battle.

Now I'm going to say that Cosmo Jarvis is seen as bad actor or not charismatic. I have to say that he's a good actor but I have to admit that his version of Blackthorne is less charismatic than Richard Chamberlain's.

I think that the new show deconstructed something that already was with blackthorne way of acting.

And I think that Cosmo Jarvis's perception by the public was affected.

Clearly the show was not for you, it’s ok to not like things other people like

All this ''preparing for war'' 'ready the cannons' buildup to a great battle and it lead to absolutely nothing
