Critics Reviews

Daniel Fienberg Hollywood Reporter Shogun had “prestige” written all over it. Yet the care taken by creators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo to deliver this story without having it reek of appropriation and voyeurism was evident throughout. Jun 6, 2024 Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) Shōgun hasn’t been perfect. When it was slow, it was practically stationary. But the moving finale more than paid off all the time and patience demanded of its audience. Rated: 4/5 Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Phillip Maciak The New Republic One of the main features of this show—and the source of its most important narrative innovation—is how rigorously rule-bound its characters are. Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Cinema Daily US In a world this massive, there’s much to find fascinating, and audiences are sure to connect with many facets of its multidimensional historical saga. Rated: B+ Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? The meaning behind each [death] is only augmented by the three-dimensional performances delivered by a cast that knows they might be next. Nobody can afford to mail it in. Rated: 9/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi The show manages to translate the classic novel excellently and concretely without ever losing the political and cultural complexities that make the story such a classic. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
