Shogun is a world-famous novel, had a great miniseries in the '80s, but I don't get why they remade it. Some of it I liked, as the earthquake scene was awesome, and there were some little changes I was okay with, but they made too many big changes. Killing off Toranaga's son, watering down the romance, and killing Hiromatsu are all unacceptable! You can't make great better by trying to rewrite it. I'm finding it hard to keep watching, and hopefully the ninjas make up for this in future seasons. But really, why change great? You dishonor your subject.
