You binge watched.
Exactly this ^^
I had to google the term. Nice
There are very few shows that would benefit from viewers thinking about the plot for a week before watching the next episode. Hell, there are few that would be worth it. This show isn't one of those, I can assure you. If anything, binge-watching keeps the plot and characters fresh and lets one enjoy it fully, assuming one can be disciplined about it.
It was made for FX and as many streaming services are doing these days, Hulu released the first two episodes the first week, then one episode per week after that.

I watched one per week, the Monday after they were released and can confirm it was still slow.
Also, FWIW, I had zero trouble avoiding spoilers on this particular show. Only one other person I know even mentioned watching it, no social media spoilers either. One of our Discord watch group (who have been watching a wide variety of movies and shows together for 4 years now) even dropped viewership of this show a few weeks ago. She’d watch the first show (The Brothers Suns, then when that ended, Fallout in later weeks) with us, then go to bed. Granted this is all anecdotal, but it looks to me like Shogun viewers aren’t super passionate or invested in it.

Like the entire season, the ending was wonderful, and two more seasons are planned. Let us know when they air, even if you don't plan to watch them yourself due to their lack of depth.
It's on Hulu
