Well, even I have to admit, this is slightly left of crazy



The reviewer Alreori is actually quite patient with idiot who wrote the article about Shogun,
The Netflix drama takes place in fuedal Japan and is based on a novel by author James Clavell.

I guess even I have to admit, there seems to be a overcorrection when it comes inserting diversity into television/cinema.

I agree with you on this (I'm no fan of "Afrocentrics" who try to destroy other people's history like they did with Cleopatra), though interesting enough there actually was once an African Samurai in Japan who went by the name of Yasuke. His story is fascinating and they even made an anime about him on Netflix.

I wish I still had Netflix so I could watch it...
