sheepyvillian Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Just finished the penultimate episode of Shogun. A shame I've only got tea, something stronger would have been more adequate. What a series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Finished shogun I'm guessing it's because of the book Spoiler But I'm torn on it not having the battle, part of me thinks it was brilliant to have torunaga lay out his plan another part of me thinks I've been robbed of something that would have been spectacular There won't be anything better on TV this year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 You know when it's a really good show because you can't even skip the intro. Such is Shogun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) And so the curtain draws on Shogun. It will live long in the memory. As near to visual poetry as you can get. Edited April 23 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you sell it in 20 words please? I'm terrible with good TV, but you've really sold Shogun in this thread, and I don't want to Google it in case it ruins things. And BTW, tell me to piss off if that's too cheeky. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dog Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Watched the first four episodes of Baby Reindeer. It's literally the last type of show I'd ever watch but one of the lads convinced me to try it. Jesus Christ. I've had to take a break after the 'Fringe' episode. Watching that one episode I'd forgotten about what led us there in the first place. Funny at times, very funny, but it don't half drag you in and then batter you with the darkness. Massive fan. And the soundtrack is superb too, all the music all the way is very very well picked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Only two episodes in to Shogun - had other things to finish before starting it. Unbelievable. I loved the novel. Need to re-read Noble House before heading back to Hong Kong on the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Baby Reindeer - My days. It literally cuddled me for two hours and then smacked me silly. Absolutely superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the 4th or 5th episode, we realised we'd both been on our phones as never of us wanted to watch it anymore so gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I didn't think Shogun was THAT good. I enjoyed it, a solid 8/10, but 'best thing on TV atm'? Nah. Mrs M even said she preferred the Chamberlain version. (I wouldn't go that far). Ripley, on the other hand - masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripley was OK but, spoiler alert Spoiler Why didn't anyone look at a photo for a missing person, it got ridiculous.
