A Dive Into The Unknown

Episodes 1-6

First of all, I started watching this show without knowing anything about it, but I saw very high ratings, so I thought I'd give it a shot. At the time of this review i've watched six episodes, and I have to say I don't regret diving into it.

Every aspect of the show is polished to perfection, every scene is breathtaking and the ones taken at night are beautifully lit and have a great atmosphere when the scenes during the day are very gloomy and foggy

In terms of story, Shogun is exceptionally addictive because it happens at very interesting times and I think anyone who is even slightly interested in Japan will like it. Another factor that makes this show so interesting is the characters, each of them has their own story, and none of them are there without a reason, their dialogues are well thought out and their decisions are not irrational. I really like that the Pilot brings that little bit of a comedy to it

The cast is well-chosen and the performances of the actors are just chef's kiss

The only thing I didn't catch was the soundtrack but that's probably because I was so invested in story that I didn't notice

So overall the show is great and i can't wait for more episodes to come

Episodes 7-9

After watching 3 more episodes I have to say that this is still a great show and it didn't lose the quality of the first 6eps. The color scheme changed as most of the scenes felt like it was a constant sun down.

As we got closer to the end, the scenes became more and more intense, especially in episodes 8 and 9 which are my favourites overall

Episode 10

As expected the ending did not disappoint. we got a beautiful closure of the story without any loose ends. I have to say this was one the best series i've seen not only because i loved it that much but also because it was so well made.
