The show was never about the war, nor ever geared towards action. It was heavy dialogue political series with specific themes (loyalty, duty, sacrifice) slowly and subtly explored through these characters.


It was definitely anti climatic way to show things in final episode with abrupt narration. Fair criticism, but was definitely not about big action piece or it's conclusion being that.



The acting was fantastic throughout.

The whole series was literally about the build up to a Toranaga/Ishido showdown. The book itself, which the show attempts to be faithful to, includes the Battle of Sekigahara. This doesn’t, hence the disappointment.

To each their own. I found Cosmo Jarvis to be quite stiff and forced.

Agree...

He is basically just a Tom Hardy impersonator with some form of handicap.

Although I have to admit he was great in a movie with Barry Keogh called Calm with horses.

Ps. It looks like we will get a second season.

I don't think so. When they say "sources said " means they know sh*t.

Outer Range Season 2 is out.
