“Shōgun” delivered excellent and captivating entertainment over the past weeks. On the occasion of the finale, fans shared their emotional reactions online.
Goodbyes are never easy: On April 23, 2024, the final episode of the hit series “Shōgun” aired on Disney+. The series has been widely streamed in the country since its debut, consistently appearing in the aggregated charts of all streaming services by JustWatch in recent weeks – securing the top spot as the most streamed series of the entire month in March. Additionally, “Shōgun” has already been showered with praise from critics and viewers alike: on Rotten Tomatoes, critics awarded “Shōgun” nearly perfect 99%, while viewers gave it a proud 91%.
After the last episode was released, some fans on X (formerly Twitter) shared their grief that the series is now over – the chance for a Season 2 is quite slim. However, fans also took the opportunity to once again praise “Shōgun” in the highest terms:
PERFECTION. It's one of the best shows I've ever seen. Thank you, #Shogun #ShogunFX https://t.co/on7YdVgYiR pic.twitter.com/9pVLDgTeSQ

As is typical for a series finale, one emotional moment followed another. Fans shared their impressions of some of these moments online as follows:
Fuji-sama' final scene, being her burying her husband and son at sea and helping Anjin say goodbye to Mariko-sama, was a perfect summation of her awesome character. Imma miss her the most. #SHOGUN • #ShogunFX pic.twitter.com/FttYjWbEHH

This scene in the Shogun finale is where I broke down and felt John's pain because he didn't want Fuji to leave. He lost all the people that he grew to care and love for. #ShogunFX #Shogun pic.twitter.com/p6vOSwuDIj

These posts once again show that the series was able to captivate its viewers throughout. Even though the series is now over, you can watch all ten episodes of “Shōgun” as often as you like with a membership to Disney+ – a small consolation, after all.
