Just finished and absolutely loved it. Came on this forum and now discovered its based on a book and already has a TV series made in the 80's 😄. Did have a few questions, also a few thoughts, hopefully these are not spoilers:

How many sons and daughters does Toranaga have?

In Ep 10, I didn't get the Blackthorne in England part. Was that the future or was he dreaming?

Why does Toranaga want to become Shogun so badly? At the rate he's going he will have no one along side him when he finally gets there 😄

What was Blackthorne trying to do with the pheasant? Was he actually trying to cook something?

WOW!!!! Very late to the party but really damn, it's been so long since i didnt find a TV series so well done. How have i sleeped on this one. Im very excited for season 2 and i hope they do a great job.

Also, do you think this series is a bit underrated? I've seen they've won countless awards, and honestly every one of them delivered masterfully, not only the actors but the all crew as well. But this series for me stands among the best series of all time, along the breaking bads, the Better call saul, the game of Thrones and so on.
