    Anyone else watching Shogun on FX? I’m enjoying it so far.

    Is it on F/X or Hulu only? I buy a 25.00 gift card for Hulu every once in awhile. I am looking forward to getting one in April and get into this show.

    Not sure but I don't think F/X carries it?? I get F/X and I'd have DVR it if on there.

    Son of a *****!!! Thought it was Hulu only and see it is on F/X. I just hit record all episodes but I see I missed 3 of them which means I will have to put up with dreaded commercials:(

    I watched the original one back in the 80s ,and loved it . I'm DVRing the new ones now. I will watch as soon as they are done so I can watch all at once. Did You watch the original mini series back in the day, and if so ....how does it compare??

    I saw them, but barely remember them. My dad loved that miniseries though, so it must have been pretty good.

    You know when I look it up I find one place shows a made for TV movie, and one shows a Mini Series. ....all with the same cast.:shrug: I only remember the Mini Series, but maybe they kicked it off with the movie. All I know is I'm excited to watch the New one as soon as I get them all.

    I barely remember the Richard Chamberlain one. But from what I remember, this one is far superior visually. I'm only 1.5 episodes in, but that's my initial impression.

    From a few things I read, they changed a few "problematic" stereotype things from the novel and earlier mini series, but it's still not going for real historical accuracy in favor of story either. Some tropes are just too fun l guess.

    What is your thought process on waiting until all are loaded??? Do you have a TV watching marathon for many hours? I no longer can watch anything for longer then 2 hours straight. Even most movies I want to watch I break them in two. I do love Netflix for putting up whole seasons. That way I can watch a series in a 5-6 days. Waiting each week can be annoying. I sure the hell wish "From" was a Netflix series. Now that might make me watch in one day:)

    Still no release date for season 3:( I was reading some BS from the creator of show that this season will be worse for residents then last.

    We had to wait on a tree to be removed on the road along with a few other cars. You can imagine first thought in my head. I was telling it to my fellow travelers and they got leery of me. Needless to say, no one knew what the hell I was talking about.

    I just like being able to just sit, and watch them, and only them. Even if I only do one a night, or every other night.
    My Sister in Law said she heard that they are going to do From, but the writing strike slowed it down

    I feel like such an old-man watching Shogun because I can't tell any of these young women apart. Maybe just an old American?
