'Shogun' Still To Come Teaser Promises Death And Carnage: VIDEO
It looks like the rest of "Shogun" will be pure chaos.
The highly-anticipated FX show about a massive political struggle in 1600s Japan premiered earlier this week, and was met with an incredible reception.
I crushed both of the episodes released Tuesday, and I couldn't even pause for a second. It was wildly captivating. Both episodes were absolute mayhem full of suspense, mystery and blood as we watched John Blackthorne weave his way into the world of Lord Yoshii Toranaga and Toda Mariko.
It was a stunning premiere - both in terms of scope and production value and the actual story itself.
"Shogun" drops still to come teaser.
Fresh off one of the best TV premieres in recent memory - right up there with "Masters of the Air" - it looks like there's still plenty to unfold through the rest of the limited series.
Fire up a teaser of what's still to come, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
How awesome does this the rest of the season look? I understand we're only two episodes in, but expectations couldn't be higher for the rest of "Shogun."
It's "Game of Thrones" meshed with "Succession" set in Japan, and a hell of a lot more violent and bloody than "GoT" through the first two episodes.
As I said in the broad review, the only drawback is a large chunk of the show is in Japanese. It's not a problem for me, but might be for others. Just be warned going in.
Viewers are craving great entertainment, and "Shogun" provided it in a huge way with its epic premiere. Where will we go from here as we follow John Blackthorne and Lord Yoshii Toranaga as the latter clings to power? I have no idea, but I'm excited to find out.
