Watching the Wire if you’ve never seen it is not a bad idea either way, especially if you’re waiting for more Shogun.

Yeah seriously

You could do a lot worse than the greatest tv show of all time!

OP's comparison is pretty apposite, I think

LMFAO at posting in a prestige TV thread but somehow not having watched The Wire.

It's always a good sign when you're pleased to see most, or all, of the characters turn up.

Yabu owns, Toranaga owns, Ishida is really cool, Mariko is doing great work, Fuji possibly even better, and even though I was baffled by his acting choices to start with, I now super enjoy Temu Hardy as well

How prevalent would violence be in an average samurai's life through the eras? Would it be possible to be the lord of some nowhere place and be professionally trained in Violence but never get into a scrap? Or was it basically a given that if you were born into a samurai family you were definitely gonna have to kill a guy at some point.

I recognise that's a hugely broad question and the answer would vary enormously depending on where and when we're talking
