If you have not already started watching Shogun, I would recommend it.

I loved every minute of it until the end which didn't resolve much of anything.

Going into it, I didn't realize this was based on the first book of a series.

It’s interesting

The fact that there is a villain but no villain is unique

The sum of any sequels will ultimately gauge success

But I enjoyed it so far. Don’t think it will resonate as a stand alone.

Shogun is solid but I don’t like the “lead” so much. Maybe that’s intended.

Sugar has promise too.

Pretty decent overall for a “down year” of tv

Hello, is this President Clinton? Good! I figured if anyone knew where to get some Tang, it'd be you.

Agreed. The movie was better but it was cromulent for a Guy Ritchie TV series

Besides Shogun I think my current shows are Ewan McGregor’s A Gentleman in Moscow and Colin Farrell’s Sugar.

I wanted to like the Lincoln assassination Manhunt more.

Wait they did a tv adaptation of A Gentleman in Moscow?*

The latter had a hell of a legacy to reach though

They did have some great parts

I enjoyed Masters of the Air but it seemed unfocused

There were great parts as you say but a lot it felt scattered.

I think the documentary about the Bloody 100th with Hanks and Spielberg was better.

Here's a different way to describe it - more stylish, similar feel, to Lincoln Lawyer.

...similar in the sense that you're almost always with the main character and/or the show revolves entirely around him.

Ferrell is convincing in his role, with a good heart to boot.

Coleman Hawkins, er, Ty MF Rodgers Stan Account

CRAP... didn't mean to edit... anyway... was referring to Sugar...

...the deleted part just said it's got a 1950s LA noir feel (think LA Confidential) but a 2020s timeline/plot.

I’m pretty sure none of it would make sense if you really thought about it much. But that’s not a problem; just don’t overthink it or worry about consistency and character motivation.

i'm unsure how much we're supposed to know about what toranaga is doing. I get surprise and everything but intentionally misleading the audience can go awry fast
