I haven’t seen Shogun but the first two episodes of Fallout have been surprisingly good. I saw that one out of context clip of Fallout and was ready to write it off, but after reviews were super positive I gave it a shot and I’m pretty happy I did.

Only seen Fallout so far, although i did see the original Shogun way back, which was really good at the time, so i can't really choose yet, i like the Fallout show, but there are some things i don't like about it as well, Fallout TV show is 50/50 for me.

I think I watch the first 1.75 episodes of Fallout and thought "It's decent but I probably won't finish".
It just keeps getting better and better after that. Can't think of the last TV show I enjoyed as much...probably Game of Thrones way back when.

The two have nothing in common, but clearly Shogun is several notches above.
Lucy's character development, for example, is basic. And I say that loving the character and actress Ella Purnell. By comparison, Mariko has several layers of reading and is a fascinating historical figure. This doesn't mean that Fallout is bad, on the contrary, it's fun and doesn't get bogged down in interesting lore, but it's clearly not in the same league.

I'm watching both and I'm 5 or 6 chapters into them.
I like both, but so far I'd say I'm slightly more inclined towards Fallout.
Shogun is better in many ways but the main character just brings it down for me. I don't know if it's the actor or how he is directed but I can't take him seriously, it's like someone put a cartoon character in an otherwise serious political intrigue drama. The way he acts and delivers his lines would ironically fit in better in Fallout.
Not a fan of the visual presentation either, film grain turned up to 11 and the upper and lower parts of the image are out of focus at all times.

Watch both, but when you watch Shogun, start Tokyo Vice afterwards.

Yeah it’s definitely not perfect in some ways, I feel like the black character being in over is head and being used for comic relief reminds me of Finn from Star Wars, but the ultraviolence and lots of other stuff were pretty cool. Some peeps whose opinions I respect have been giving it glowing reviews so I’m down for continuing.
One thing though: I dunno why but the bass it hitting really hard in the sound mix. I’ve tried to watch when the kids are asleep and even at low volumes it’s like Jesus this is rattling the house. I don’t want to turn down my sub because it’s dialed in well for pretty much everything else, but anyone else having their pictures rattling off the walls if you have it high enough to hear the dialog?

Shogun is a perfect steak with a fine wine.
Fallout is beer and hot dogs and pizza.
Technically shogun is far superior, but both can be great.
Just wanted to add, Anna Sawai's performance in Shogun could be the best acting I have seen in any movie or tv show, period.

Agreed I wasn't sure at first either but it does get so much better with both the story and as you start to "get" the feel of the way they are presenting things sort of tongue in cheek.

Fallout is an entertaining watch.
But bitch plz......
It's not even close.
The quality of Shogun to Fallout is heaven and earth.
Shogun is just pure quality.

Oh shogun by a very large margin.
This isn't even comparable.
I enjoyed fallout, ranked it an 8 out of 10 In entertainment value but shogun is an actual show with superb (mostly) acting and a really sharp script.
It keeps its tone serious and has everything, romance, political intrigue, action, drama etc.
Again fallout was an entertaining show but shogun is not one to compare it too, considering shogun is some of the best TV we've had in a while.
Now comparing it to 3 body problem and I think fallout would top it fairly easily, thats just my opinion though

Shogun for sure, it’s up there with one of the greats. Fallout is a great show and I appreciate that it’s solid as a fan of the games. But idk if the show is really that good if you aren’t a fan of the games. It’s an above average show like Ozark.

What woke goals?
Black people exist?
Interracial romance?
One character refers to themselves as they/them once, and I missed even that?
We watched the same show? I’m really curious what the DEI goals here are.

What are the DEI / ESG goals for all TV & film? Let's start there and then we'll see how many checkboxes Fallout hits.

Tokyo Vice is fantastic, but I really hate Jake Adelstein.Watch both, but when you watch Shogun, start Tokyo Vice afterwards.
As for the poll, Fallout is pretty good! Bit Shogun is one of the best things I've ever watched.

TV shows have become so long and boring that I just watch those “series recap” videos on YouTube 
10 hour TV show in 45-60 mins.

I saw a video where someone complained that Fallout was promoting interracial marriage lol. It feels like those kind of complaints are getting more and more desperate.

I am captain anti woke...
And I can tell you fallout isn't woke.
There's one character and honestly it's so dumb they pandered because thems they are literally in for less than 2 episodes and like half a show overall in screentime at most.
The 99.95% of the rest of the show is not woke at all.
It's a decent enough watch...
Again not nearly as good as shogun but that's not the point

You will have to tolerate the stupidity until DEI ESG funding goes away. Or until they reveal specifically what's required to recieve the incentives. I wonder why that's not easy to find...
It's getting increasingly stupid with every passing day.

The closest you will get to this is Tokyo Vice. Seriously, check it out.
Edit:
Wait, what was the point of creating this thread if this was secretly your intent? First the one in gaming, now this one. Are these bait and switch DEI topic threads going to be the norm from people going forward?
