 My husband and I got like a third of the way into Shogan since it was so well-rated, but we struggled with it a bit. There were a handful of frustrating things that seemed unrealistic. I keep meaning to get back into it.

It’s definitely a show that I want to finish, but I’ve found every few episodes it loses my interest, just enough to not “need” to come back. That said, it’s also cool af 
 lucky man you have 😉  
 The book was fantastic, maybe try that? Still remember it all these years later. 
 I've read the book but haven't watched the show. Great book! 
 Did yall check out Horizon? Similarly well regarded but I struggled through. Beautifully filmed. Story was hard to follow. 
 I can't speak to the realism of the show or the book, but the book was a great read. Even romantic. My husband and I still say "thou" to each other in place of "I love you."
