TV review: Epic 'Shogun' action-packed, intriguing, moving
| Written by Fred Topel
A sense of humor does emerge within the intense politics and culture clashes. The first character to display one is Father Rodrigues (Nestor Carbonell), who escorts Blackthorne to Lord Toranago (Hiroyuki Sanada), one of the five council leaders, in the second episode.
Rodrigues’ attitude is that yes, Japan is so different from Western culture that he can’t even try to follow the logic of customs.
