I said this two episodes in but after watching episode 9 of #Shogun you buy all the Anna Sawai stock you possibly can. She is breaktakingly brilliant. Good god what a performance.
@HerbertHistory So many amazing moments in this episode.
@HerbertHistory Her performance was stunning. Mariko is one of the best female leads in a period drama I have seen in a long time.
@HerbertHistory She's great in this which totally changes my mind because I did not like her in Monarch (didn't like the whole series but that's a larger conversation). Give her all the flowers.
@HerbertHistory This proves the monarch show didn’t use her the right way
@HerbertHistory She has such a powerful emotional presence with quite amazing subtly.
@HerbertHistory Agree the whole cast nail it great show
