Shōgun (FX/Hulu) TV Show • Page 5

Ya the dinner sequence was great. One of my favorite things about this show is seeing how Mariko chooses to translate the words of those she's translating for. Love seeing her try her best to bend someone's passive aggressive insult into a compliment.

 

Honestly agree. Every episode becomes clearer she is giving one of the best performances in this show.

 

Y’all this series is really good.

 

each episode is pure heat

 

Best TV series of Q1 2024 by a mile. A 3 months packed with big hyped up event series no less.


We still got 9 months left in the year and I still don't reasonably see any other limited series topping this come next year's Emmys and Golden Globes. Unless somebody comes outta nowhere and releases one of the greatest mini series in TV history between now and December.

 

yeah holy shit this show is absolutely incredible

 

Obviously this will get tons of Emmy nominations for Drama/Miniseries, but it'd be hilarious if they just put Cosmo Jarvis in "Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical." Dude's in a completely different show and I love it.

 

I had already kinda been spoiled that the cannon scene was going to be gnarly, and my jaw still hit the floor when that scene happened

 

I was ready to bail on the show entirely if she died during the earthquake/landslide.

 

Cosmo Jarvis’s wild performance makes this show so much more fun than it would be with a typical “brooding handsome outsider hero”. He’s in goblin mode like 5 times an episode but still nails the emotional beats when the scene calls for it. it’s awesome

 

What is awesome is this isn't some creative decision on Jarvis or the showrunners part to portray Blackthorne like this, it is literally how Blackthorne is in the books. I have been listening to the audio book and it sounds just like Cosmo Jarvis . It's actually a very loyal interpretation of the source material

 

I think it's also important to note that while Blackthorne is based on a real historical guy, he is also James Clavell himself too

Also he wrote the co-wrote the screenplay of The Great Escape too, which this post doesn't mention.

 

Get ready to see Cosmo in every single Marvel and Star Wars or King Kong movie for the next 5 years or whatever the fuck

Breaking: Cosmo Jarvis cast in every single role in the next half decade worth of big budget genre movies

 

I am betting Anna Sawai is also going to have a huge career after this too.

John Landgraf and FX just stay making new stars in the 2020's. Quite impressive.

 

I know people have pointed out a few MVP actors, and I agree with all of those, but honestly the acting has been pretty phenomenal in this across all of the players, big and small

 

What an ep. I would never want to have a drink off with warm saki tho

 

Also I’m bereft about the news his real name is Cosmo Jarvis. I wasn’t aware

 

I know Cosmo Jarvis's big post-Shogun thing is going to be a supporting role in that Barry Levinson directed mob movie starring De Niro next year. He's going to be playing Vincent "The Chin" Gigante so it's a pretty big role.

 

named after Cosmo Kramer

 

Naturally

 

Named after the guy fairy on The Fairly Oddparents

 

2 eps into this and really enjoying the background. Thanks for the rec

 

man the first episode really is incredible huh
