I watched the first 8 episodes of the new Shōgun a while ago, but having read the book (FABulous) and seen the 1980 mini-series with Toshiro Mifune and Richard Chamberlain (fanTAStic), I knew what was going to happen and didn’t feel the need to blubber out tears for a couple hours. But then I did it anyway, I watched the last two episodes. And because it was mostly in Japanese I had to actually watch the show with my eyes. And although I think I liked the book and the 1980 series better, that was long ago, hard to remember exactly, and this version is quite good too.
