and that's coming from a devoted GoT bitch who made Sansa Stark her whole personality lmao
Shogun is nothing short of masterfully made. watching this, i'm trembling in awe and admiration. so glad it got renewed for 2 more seasons.

Facts. And surprisingly so given the cheesiness of the '80s miniseries. (I haven't read the source novel, but it's among the favorites of someone whose opinion I generally respect.)

FX is pretty consistently the most underrated American network. In my view, they surpassed HBO years ago.

The Expanse - SyFy
The Americans - FX
Mad Men - AMC
AMC also did The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad and spinoffs, as well as The Terror. Oh, and Halt and Catch Fire, which I really liked. SyFy did Sharknado
FX: The Shield, Justified, The Americans, Shogun, The Bear, Sons of Anarchy/Mayans, American Horror/Crime Story, Terriers, Fargo, Pose, Snowfall, It's Always Sunny, Atlanta, etc. Plus they handled U.S. distribution for Taboo, which I really enjoyed.

AHS is extremely hit or miss, and SOA initially had the potential to be on the same level as The Sopranos or Breaking Bad, but devolved into a pulpy biker soap opera. Still kinda fun though. The others I would fully recommend without reservation, especially Pose and The Bear.
Oh and Halt and Catch Fire, the AMC show I mentioned lol

Speaking of The Americans, have you watched Deutschland 83/86/89 or Kleo? I've seen only 83, but I liked it. And Kleo is constantly popping up on my Netflix recommendations. Worth checking out?

You're right but the show is dead. It's been like 3 years since release so I think it's been cancelled.

It came out just over a year ago and production on season 2 is beginning in January of 2026

Whatever. It's too long between seasons. I've given up on the show.

respectfully disagree with the "ever was" part.
shogun was good but it did have its flaws, as did game of thrones.

I thought it was well made and more or less engaging…but enjoyed blu eyed samurai far more
Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

Lol I had to Google weebo…not very adequate in describing me tho…I detest anime and manga. Which is why I was so captivated by BES…not that nonsense at all! No demons or magical guantlets. Just a pretty tight ****ing story with some very impressive animation
