The show is great in terms of some of its authenticity. I love the face that they actually used Japanese actors to play Japanese parts. I also appreciate the native language as oppose to dubbing it in English. That being said, I’m not sure I like the portrayal of the Shogun. In feudal Japan, warlords were selfish and brutal, not like the wuss that’s being displayed. There’s plenty of violence and gore in the series, just not enough testosterone in the Shogun. I hate saying this but I wish he was more brutal!
