Lets go! so hype for this series!

Glad you guys are watching this series!

It pleases me greatly that TRP is reacting to this brilliant. Definitely one of the best television programs I’ve watched recently, especially in a live action format. The more y’all watch, the more you guys will familiarize yourself with the characters and the roles they play. The writing for the female cast is one of best I’ve seen. Very strong, compelling and intelligent woman in this series.

Shogun is great and season 1 is based off a book and it covers all of it. There is a season 2 in production but obviously not based on anything so I a mixed on that.

Quick Primer for Catholics V Protestants in this period; The Roman Catholic Church is one unified Church, with the bishop of Rome, AKA the Pope, at its head. They hold to particular doctrines as established in councils and, more importantly, by the dictates of the Pope. They see all protestants as Heritics who reject the sacraments required for salvation and rebels to the divine authority given to the pope. Protestant refers to basically every group* of Christianity that split from the Catholic church during and immediately following the Reformation. They "Protest" the doctrines and dictates of the Catholic church and the Pope. The important differences for ya'll to get is that almost all protestants see the Pope as illegitimate at best and literally the Antichrist at worst, and the two groups have been locked in religious and political struggles in Europe for 50-75 plus years by the time of this show. iirc. And they haven't even hit the peak of how intense they get historically. The ironic part of this show is that despite all the strong words about faith, most of the Europeans(and several of the Japanese) portrayed are somewhat insincere in their faith and are primarily political creatures. Blackthorne is portrayed as a Protestant, but mostly in a political sense, because that's the conflict of his day, but he is really just a crude fighting man who is fighting for his country. I'd doubt he understands or cares about the doctrinal disagreements beyond what is discussed in taverns. Not comprehensive by any means, but ya know, good enough.

Just fyi. When characters speak english, theyre actually speaking portuguese. Blackthorne learned portugese since that was the predominant language in the setting aside from japanese.

Yes we are aware! Mainly because we know Mariko knows Portuguese and Blackthorne is the first Englishman to set foot in Japan -Sam

It’s also important to note that in this time (and for hundreds of years before and after), politics and religion in Europe were very much intertwined. Certain countries firmly belonged to certain Christian denominations. The southern and western parts of Europe — Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Ireland, some German countries, and the Papal States directly controlled by the pope were Catholic; the Dutch Republic, England, Scotland, some German countries, and Scandinavia were Protestant. (And in Eastern Europe there was a whole third, Eastern Orthodox, branch.) It’s probably fair to say that most people didn’t really care or even knew about the finer theological differences and it was more of a general us-vs-them mentality that was encouraged for political reasons. Edit: In 1600 Protestantism was still a relatively new movement. Martin Luther started most of it in 1517, later followed by others like John Calvin; and the Church of England split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534.

Very true, before the rise of nationalism, the State religion was arguably the most important part of each nation's shared identity. The modern equivalent of how it was treated back then would probably be a mix of Political party and national origin/culture. I make a point to talk about the political nature of many of Shogun's characters exactly because of how it differs from a modern engagement and arguably the more ideal, with religion being more personal and less inherently tied to political positions.

Buddy it's a reaction channel, it's literally their job to voice their reactions. The fact that I'm not even aware of what you're referring to means that it's not an issue for every viewer.

Whyyeezus

More live actions yay! Severance next perchance =)

It's really awesome that this finally won a poll. Honestly after episode 1, yall have a really great handle on things so far. I Think episode 1 and 2 originally came out together because everything makes a lot more sense after episode 2. Looing forward to that and hearing your thoughts on the rest of this season

Shogun takes place pre-Edo Period during the very end of the Sengoku Period (Warring States period). It is a fictionalized telling of the rise of Tokugawa Ieyasu, which precipitated his moving of the capitol and the beginning of the Edo Period. If you do some reading on the last couple decades of the Sengoku you will see the parallels, and it will be pretty easy to see which characters in the show are analogues for the actual historical figures.

It's fantastic that you three are finally watching this show. I truly loved the first season. Each episode I watched transported me to the time and place. It was easily the best show of 2024 (the awards are proof). Enjoy! (btw love you guys!)
