Hum…this is the thing…in which year takes place the action of this serie? Because there's some inconsistencies here. I dont think Portugal and England were enemies at the most strict sense of the word. Actually they are the oldest alliance with a written treaty. They weren't exactly friends during 1580 up to 1640, which was the time period of the Iberian Union, when the Philips from Spain were also kings of Portugal because King Sebastian didn't had children when he died in the Battle of Alcácer Quibir in north africa against the Moors. The "Invincible Armada" that king Philip II of Spain used to try to invade England had a lot of portuguese ships…and he lost…and during the Iberian Union we got the enemies of Spain since in practical terms we were part of Spanish Empire, which before that we were quite neutral to other european powers with no enemies…so the Union screwed us over and when we got independence again we had lost s lot of ships and some colonial territories specially in the Indies.
I'm really going to have to spend time watching this. It looks incredible
Utter Nonsense. After the dissolution of the Aud Alliance between Scotland and France, the Windwor Alliance between England and Portugal is the oldest alliance in the world. 1373.
Maybe I ought to watch this Shogan thing.
if you never seen it you must. its perfect. nothing has been made this good in a very long time
The cast was perfect and their chemistry grew as they told the story. I was pleased by the fact that they didn’t just re-shoot the 80’s version. The writers and producers really turned out a great story!
This was such a great freaking show!!!!
It's such a loss that Catholicism was kicked out of Japan. Alongside Christianity in general. For the most part.

Since when do Protestants believe Jesus is God? They believe that Jesus is 2nd person who is "son of God" but they don't believe that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are 1 God. 1 same God, 3 Holy persons.
The nation of the Netherlands, not Holland
Ver Impressive show!
This show is something else in the most positive way possible.

They boiled a guy alive and don’t even know how to make steel, but the English are the backwards barbarians….got it.
Fuck 2 religions. Orthodoxy is 1st real and only right religion, everything else is mockery of Christianity
I came to understand that bowing is a good practice to fart well.
WHAT A REAL BULLSHIT !!! THERE IS ONLY ONE BLACKTHORNE – AND THIS IS RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN; YOU UNDERSTAND !!!
This was a good movie, but the original with Richard Chamberlain beats this absolutely hands-down
I like the details of John, who has just come to Japan, who, unlike Tsuji, can't bend his knees well.
Why is there a Jew translating?
このドラマの時代考証は京都にある国際日本文化研究センター(テレビの歴史番組などによく出演している磯田道史先生も所属している所)の副所長でベルギー出身の日本の戦国時代の研究者フレデリック・クレインス先生がディズニーからの依頼でやられています。
国際日本文化研究センターの、ドラマSHOGUNに関する講演会でクレインス先生が、制作側の脚本がやはり時代考証が正確で無く、徹底的にダメ出し、修正させた、と話されていました。(元は小説ではあるけれども名前がおかしいとか、当時の風俗、風習などについて)
アメリカの制作陣は、ドラマに芸者を登場させたかったらしいのですが、この時代に芸者はいないとNGを出したそうですw
(この動画にも少し映っているかもですが、本当はドラマに出てくる城の石垣も当時の作りでは無かったらしいのですが、制作側の予算が尽きてしまってそこは修正できなかったそうです)
講演会を聞いて、海外出身ながら、恐らくそこらの日本人よりも日本の事に詳しい専門家の先生の徹底的な指導や、真田広之さんはじめ日本人の俳優陣や時代劇の技術スタッフの皆さんの、日本文化を正確に伝えたいという思いからの、細部に至るまでのこだわりもあって、様々な快挙を成し遂げたんだなと感慨深く思っていました。
何よりも日本の歴史や文化の一端が海外に広く紹介されたというのが嬉しいですね。少し前まで欧米でステレオタイプで描かれていたヘンテコ日本文化を考えると隔世の感があります。
シーズン2も楽しみですね
easily the best show ive watched.
Cosmo Jarvis is a terrible actor tho.
私にもわかりません若君
4:54 There it is, almost a smile, Lord Toranaga was amused.
Two versions of Christianity ? He just completely left out Eastern Orthodox : (
Blackthorn ist einfach zu dick…er hat Pazifik hinter sich !
Toranaga in Shogun really reminds me of Tywin Lannister. Both characters show what it truly means to be an effective ruler and politician. They think several steps ahead, always looking at the bigger picture, and that kind of foresight is what sets real leaders apart something most politicians in real world completely lack. Being a good ruler isn’t just about power, it’s about managing competing interests, navigating alliances, and making the best possible decisions in messy, imperfect situations. That naturally involves deception and manipulation it comes with the territory. Politics has a way of wearing down your moral compass over time. You have to make tough choices, tell half-truths, and sometimes become the villain in someone else’s story. That’s also why many people hate politics it forces you to become someone they can’t admire. And the best liars? They’re the ones no one ever will know.
Holland mentioned, GEKOLONISEERD
Where do I watch?? Please.
Aahhh, and anglo-saxon slander-piece. Now I know why it was made.
I don't know why, but Japanese with a strong foreign accent drives me nuts
This show is super boring, don’t recommend.
