It’s Osaka in the West vs Edo (Tokyo) in the East and both are built as Samurai Castle Towns…..Kyoto is the city for the Emperor and Nobles.

I read the book back in February in anticipation of this series. I still haven't watched it. I fully intend to but I get stuck into a book and tell myself I will watch the show tomorrow. Lather, rinse, repeat!😖 Thanks for refreshing and pumping up my enthusiasm again. I will watch! It makes me somewhat nervous that the showrunners are doing a season 2 and taking the story beyond the book. It reminds me of the hash the Game of Thrones tv creators made of it by going past where the books ended. In their defense, they needed to wrap up an incomplete series but in the case of Shogun, the story is done. Just walk away with your laurels of a job well done. Adapt Tai-Pan instead if you need to do more.

Yay, hope you like it! I think the great thing with this situation is they can follow actual historical events. A lot happened after Ieyasu became Shogun. I’m even hoping for a Musashi storyline but they’ll have to take some liberties as the timelines only slightly match up.

I wouldn't be nervous. Take the first season for what it is in all it's glory and consider everything else as extracurricular.
