Shōgun Is Everything Game of Thrones Should Have Been

  • Ever since Game of Thrones became the standard bearer for contemporary prestige TV, it's been an inevitability that each network is looking for that one show that could become "The Next Game of Thrones." No one can ever truly predict what will catch fire and become a prestige TV smash, but that’s where Shōgun on FX comes in.
    The Shōgun TV show has kept fans in awe, with Shōgun episode 8 and Shōgun episode 9 taking things to the next level at every turn. Hiroyuki Sanada is inspired as Yoshii Toranaga, and Anna Sawai’s Lady Mariko has easily won the heart of the internet. Cosmo Jarvis’ John Blackthorne has even wiggled his way in there as well!
    Now, with the Shōgun finale around the corner, it seems like it’s time to finally call it: Shōgun is everything Game of Thrones should have been.

    They are two very different experiences, and shogun is only a mini series. Also you brought up the bad rushed ending for GoT, saying it made women characters look bad. You clearly ignored Sansa becoming a leader, and Arya killing the main evil threat. Two different cultures are being portrayed.

    Even when you compare characters like Robert Baratheon to Buntaro, it’s insane how much more depth the former has. Or Ishido compared to Tywin Lannister. GoT easily clears.

    Funny how you praise a random female assassin in Shogun who fails and dies in like 30 seconds but don’t even mention Arya Stark who takes out the whole of House Frey alone, seems like you’re the ones reducing women roles, we really about to act like Thrones isn’t full of fully realised and powerful women of all ages, ability’s and bodys. Old and smart like Ollena Tyrell, big and strong like Brienne, leaders like Yara or Daenerys. The women in Shogun just want to kill themselves for men.

    This sounds like executives at a "CERTAIN" BIG STUDIO company is trying to flood the news media with this silly notion.
    It almost sounds desperate.
    There is no replacement for game of thrones.
    They're doing the creatives of Shogun a disservice by putting their hardwork in the shadow of game of thrones. "The next game of thrones", "game of thrones successor"
    It's not it's own thing.
    Again, this smells of desperation to put something worthy out on TV.
    Besides, it's a 10 episode series. One and done.
    If you want to compare Shogun to something worthy? Compare it to Chernobyl, band of brothers, beef.
    Not game of thrones.
