Besides that, how you liking the show. Not seeing a lot  coverage of it online, so don't know if it's got a large following, but it deserves one.

It's holding my attention.  I want to see what happens next.

The evil daimyo looks a lot like the greasy underlord of the good guy daimyo.  That confused me.  Blackthorne bellowing and demanding Geneva Convention protection and not getting his head chopped off seems a little a-historical.

Watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.  If you take away Margaret Qualley's underage ass sticking out of a car window there's not much left.  Better than your average Tarentino post Pulp Fiction bust.

Only bad television?
Only one NCIS show.  I can take a nap for one hour.  :sleep:
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Are you even online?  :P

It's everywhere.  In Canada's both official languages. ;)  Facebook random pages, Reddit posts & subs, historical forums questions about the reality of the depiction of some events. :)

There's been questions asked about a potential season 2, but the authors said it won't happen, it's a one season show.

I don't know about how popular it is elsewhere in the world, but in North America and France, it's a hit.

I stay off Facebook :P the websites I follow, like io9, have little blurbs, but not that many comments. Not really showing up on my YouTube algorithm either. Coverage is nothing close to the new game of thrones, or the wheel of time for example, and I think shogun is better than either. But I admit I could just be missing it.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Shogun is all over my youtube feed.

Yeah, I'm also getting a lot of "Shows like Shogun" clickbait stuff.
