Yeah I finally watched the first episode of Shogun over the weekend, very well done!
Haha yes, seems like a big property, with a lot of interesting stuff going on, had never heard of it before the show was being made, but them being the ones to do it makes me much less interested although I am still curious... Mids sounds about right, and probably lazy, but certainly they are some pretty damn hacky writers imoAt this point I can only describe it as mid... think they're just incredibly lazy

Yeah your lock on them was spot on. Don't let me put you off it though. I will say, at the end of both episodes I definitely wanted to continue.
Haha he wasn't vaping though was he??
I've been seeing that shitty attempt at a recycler bong from China in some shows lately... With idiots smoking out of it instead of just a bong, so curious who did props lol
don't remember this in 3BP, but I might be wrong
I just finished episode 3. So far it is everything I could ask for. The casting is excellent and they are leaning really heavily into the silliness, as I hoped they would. Even with the humorous approach that nuclear strike scene was one of the most horrific things I've ever seen. It was more effective and moving than most of the serious treatments. In fairness I should mention I'm a huge Fallout nerd with thousands of hours played on the various versions.Watched the first two episodes of Fallout. Appears to be a banger! It's one of those streaming shows that looks like a movie. And yet another example of a show with an unambiguous anti-capitalist message, presented (bafflingly) by Jeff Bezos and Amazon.
It also gives me my Walton Goggins fix.

That adorable little girl with her thumb out, holy shit (not really a spoiler for anyone considering watching, you'll know it when it happens). My wife asked if she would enjoy the show, I'm really not sure, maybe we'll rewatch it together.Bro, that was one of the best opening scenes for a TV show I've ever seen!
That's the only question I have now. Does the show translate for people who aren't already Fallout fans? All of the themes are still very timely, unfortunately. After all, war never changes
I'm going to have to watch The Regime on HBO all by myself it seems! (created by the guy who wrote the movie The Menu, it was originally just called the palace, and you can't go wrong with Kate Winslet)
Yeah the first episode was pretty good!
We are on the same viewing journey this month. I've read the novel Shogun probably five or six times so that makes me a big fan of the series. This is another one where they are doing as good of a job as you can ask for from a TV series. The novel is easier to understand, it's hard to explain the subtly of Samurai culture in a TV show. In the novel it's also clearer that Toranaga has an end game in mind, some kind of end game, you just don't know what. In the series he seems more reactive to events rather than shaping them (he is). I also love how Mariko can be one cold hard bitch when she wants to be. She crushes people with what she doesn't say.Oh yeah the second episode of Fallout was pretty great haha and I can see they kind of wrote it as a two-parter premiere, definitely see what you mean about this being their best work (from Westworld) and looking forward to the rest, Walton Goggins just too perfect haha I like the vault dweller girl's casting as well though...
Also watched the fourth episode of Shogun last night, really amping up!
