“They’re playing checkers, but Lord Toranaga is playing chess.”
Shogunis hands down my favorite TV show so far this year.
The FX miniseries is based on James Clavell’s 1975 novel of the same name.
The beautiful Mariko is assigned as John’s translator, though she’s fighting her own war.
I’ve been obsessed sinceShogunpremiered!
And the acting!
This cast brings these well-rounded characters to life in a way that deserves ALL the awards.
From the political tension to the romance, everything is just chef’s kiss.
And I’m not the only one who can’t stop talking about the show.
Here are 22 tweets from people lovingShogun:
Obviously, massive spoilers ahead!
One of the most fascinating parts of#Shogunfor me is the translation scenes.
Great stuff.pic.twitter.com/bdpEGrufKF
