The original Shogun, the series, from 1980 like the novel it was based upon,by James Clavell, was a masterpiece.

It worked because of tight coherent storytelling, compelling characterisations and intelligent narrative, that very wisely took its inspiration and direction, from the novel it was based upon.

Then along lumbers this latest effort. Its manages to shift its focus away from the relationship between the pilot John Blackthorne and Lord Toranaga. In so doing, diffusing a key focal point of the story.

A story which is essentially about the collision of Western and Eastern societies and cultures, which resonates in this period of Japanese history and beyond.

The other key aspect of the original story that no longer works as well, was one of ultimately tragic love between Blackthorne and Lady Mariko.

Mariko is a courtier who relies on her skill as a negotiator, to influence those around her. We see this clearly in the book and the original series.

Suffice to say, the new revised Mariko is anything but diplomatic.

Acting in this series is excellent, sets admittedly amazing and visuals often spectacular.
