I thought so too in the beginning. But the English character in that series is more of a… Useful tool that gets used. He has no agency and he never realises it throughout the entire series.
Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year
Flemmy@lemm.ee 1 week agoLol as good as the production looked even as a white dude I kind of cracked up at Tommy in that role.

I’m not sure if The Last Shogun is something different, but if you’re referring to the Shogun series recently adapted by FX, I can say having watched it that it features a main character who fancies himself a superior white savior, but ultimately leads to realizing how completely out of his depth he is.
But it’s like the Memoir of a Geisha problem: since the original work was written by a white dude anyways, how much value does it have as a cultural work?
