Apparently there's a season 2 of Shogun coming, according to Deadline. I don't trust modern writers to follow this one up without source material (book) to base it on, no matter how strongly I crave more from this universe.

Season 1 spoiler:

I also cannot see a second season delivering the same quality without a couple of the standout characters who died in the first one.

I thought something like an epic 3 part mini series would be best for this.

Here we go

Currently watching The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Very harrowing of course. Minor production comment: It’s odd how the main character has an English accent as a young man, but an Eastern European accent as an old man.

It's loosely based on real events though isn't it?

Watching life on Mars atm, not bad at all.

No idea mate!

No idea mate!

Pretty sure it is, the English guy is based on a real person

 

[Tommy.]

Pretty sure it is, the English guy is based on a real person

It's based on a fictional book mate; although borrows loosely from a lot of historical fact.

So no, but sorta yes.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was enough for me.

Tell me about it, I still haven't forgiven my old dears
( could of at least given me a Dyche trackie )

 

[Swartzy]

Watching a 'Scandi' series called 'Quicksand' at the mo, came across it after watching 'Deliver Me' think they were done by the same writer.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

The Responder must have been written by a Toffee. A great watch in itself but all the Everton links are making it very special.

I've never really been a fan of it but, WTF is going on with Dr Who?
