I'm so glad that they're doing the book justice, superb.

 

Yeah it's made an excellent start. Can't fault anything about it so far.

 

Tbf as soon as they cast Hiroyuki Sanada I was a fan but the rest of the cast are spot on.

I said this before, but my only minor gripe is that the actor playing Alvito looks a mite young for the character. But that's a proper minor gripe and he does a great job anyway.

 

I always loved the line "I am your enemy. Completely. But not your assassin. That you will do yourself."

20 days in Mariupol … a grotesque and harrowing watch, however, I do feel it’s our duty to take this in and remember as we know about Russia’s revisionism and bending of facts. It’s hard watch but you can see why it’s winning accolades.

I like Shogun too. 

 

Two of the main cast were both in Marvel films. Tadanobu Asano (Yabushige) in the first two Thor films  and Hiroyuki Sanada (Toronaga) in Endgame.

Also loving Shogun but someone pointed out how much John Blackthorn sounds like the “Succulent Chinese Meal” guy and now I can’t hear anything different

Watched the Hampstead Paedophile Hoax, the internet and a world full of wackos is not a good combination.

Loving The Gentlemen on Netflix - superb.

 

Theo James who plays the main character Eddie should be the next James Bond IMO

Supposed to be similar to Our Flag Means Death ... Which I watched half an episode of and hated.

 

As far as Shogun is concerned, having just finished Ghost of Tsushima, this is fuelling my samurai addiction.

Watching this now.

 

It's a really compelling case for the internet just being turned off, isn't it?

Anyone watching The Gentlemen series, how much crossover to the film is there? Is it a must to watch beforehand?

Watched it quite happily while being blissfully unaware there is a film of the same name until this post.

Haven't watched for about 25 years. From what I understand it is more of a soap. Is that fair?
