SHOGUN | Trailer
It’s like game of thrones but with Samurai set in 1600 Japan.

If you’ve ever felt a little out of place traveling somewhere, you must check this out. The book’s hard to beat, but the Series has been fantastic so far, scoring 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Hope your weekend is out of this world,
