The FX remake of the landmark 1980 miniseries adds a 21st century perspective and a post-'Game of Thrones' sense of grandeur.

      Me neither. How unexpected. I’m really glad it’s good! I never read the book, but the poster advertisements looked really cool. And I know it was at least good enough to inspire a previous miniseries.

        The author, James Clavell wrote 6 novels set in Asia that span 400-ish years. Shogun - 1600 to the last set in the 1990s.

        Shogun is one of the best but they are all worth a read.

        My rating of the Series.

        Shogun & Noble House tied for first. (both were made into mini-series in the 80s)

        Tai-Pan

        Gai-Jin

        King Rat (his first novel, based on personal experence in WW2)

        Whirlwind
