In 1980, the 5 part, 10 hour mini-series “Shogun” captivated audiences.  Based on James Clavell’s best-selling novel of the same name, this ambitious production brought to life the story of an English navigator, John Blackthorne, who shipwrecks in feudal Japan, becoming embroiled in their political intrigues and violent power struggles. “Shogun” was a monumental achievement that captivated audiences around the world and remains a landmark in television history.

The year is 1600, and shipwrecked John Blackthorne (played by Richard Chamberlain), is quickly captured by local samurai warriors and brought before Lord Toranaga (Toshiro Mifune), a powerful daimyo (feudal lord).  He sees Blackthorne as both a potential threat and an opportunity. As Blackthorne struggles to adapt to the unfamiliar customs and language of Japan, he becomes entangled in the complex web of political manipulations and rivalries between the various daimyos vying for power.

Lord Toranaga recognizes the value of Blackthorne’s knowledge of navigation and Western culture and decides to keep him alive. He sees an intelligent man, with leadership skills and  makes him a samurai, giving him the name “Anjin.” He also gives him a mere 6 months to learn the language.  These challenges are set upon the backdrop of brutal battles and betrayal in the picturesque landscape of Japan.

“Shogun” was produced by NBC and aired in September 1980. The mini-series was an international co-production, featuring a cast of American, European, and Japanese actors, as well as a crew from both the United States and Japan. To ensure authenticity, the production team built massive sets, including an entire village, and incorporated traditional Japanese huts.

Rich Man, Poor Man miniseries from 1976

Rich Man Poor Man is the televised interpretation of Irwin Shaw’s best-selling novel. The prime-time release of a soap-opera-like drama had audiences captivated by it’s attractive and relatable characters. The mini-series follows two brothers, Rudy and Tom Jordache, from their childhood to adulthood, as they navigate through their vastly different lives. Rudy is a criminal who must hustle for his meager living, while Tom, a war hero becomes a wealthy successful businessman. The series explores the themes of family and love as well as success and sacrifice.

Unlike today, back in the 70s, men were still predominantly the bread winners in most relationships, so the financial success of men affected the women in their lives more profoundly. Rich Man, Poor Man, as much as it reflected the lives of two men, was very much a story about how the choices made by those men were felt by the women who loved them.  The relationships were complex, the characters well developed and multi-dimensional. The female characters  were portrayed as strong and determined, but also vulnerable and emotional, eliciting a strong emotional response from the female viewers.

The romantic relationships were not the only ones of interest. Rich Man Poor Man also explored the theme of motherhood.   The Jordache family is portrayed as a close-knit and their mother plays a central role in their lives. The relationship between the mother and her sons was depicted as loving and nurturing, with the mother sacrificing everything for her children. Many female viewers identified with the mother’s love for her children and her unwavering devotion to their well-being.

Finally, despite the societal shift that has changed modern society since Rich Man, Poor Man was written it still holds significance today.  The struggles in our interpersonal relationships remains, even if our relative expectations have changed. This series is a classic and still a good watch, if only to give a different perspective on how life’s struggles and our reactions to them affect those around us.

“V” The Final Battle miniseries is the conclusion to the original

“V” The Final Battle is a three part series made to conclude the popular “V” the original miniseries. The show, first aired in 1984, just a year after the original, while interest in the characters and the new sci-fi was high. This gripping series is a much needed follow up to the original, following a group of human rebels as they fight against an invading force of aliens who have taken over Earth.

“V” The Final Battle is the conclusion to the original mini series that aired in 1983.

One of the most enthralling aspects of “V: The Final Battle” is its ability to keep tensions high and maintain the sense of danger throughout the series. The aliens, known as Visitors, are portrayed as ruthless and powerful, and the human characters are constantly struggling to stay alive and resist their oppression. This makes for a thrilling and suspenseful viewing experience.

Like the original, “V” the Final Battle also does a great job of exploring themes of power, oppression, and resistance. It raises questions about what it means to be human, and the importance of standing up for oneself and others. The series also deals with the moral implications of fighting against an enemy, the importance of unity and the cost of freedom.

Perhaps the best reason to watch “V” the Final Battle is its triumphant outcome. The viewer is imbued with hope and optimism by the end, with the Visitors being defeated and the humans reclaiming their planet. The intense final battle is epic; a powerful reminder that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, the human spirit can triumph.

In conclusion, “V: The Final Battle” is a must-watch for fans of science fiction and political drama. Perhaps the most compelling message here is a reminder of what we seem to have lost as a society. In the age of superhero films; we forget that no-one is coming to save us from real life’s tyranny. When faced with an overwhelming foe, it is the strong who protect each other. Like the “V” miniseries, victory of the oppressed is dependent upon uniting our efforts, revealing our true enemy instead of letting them divide us into squabbling camps. As for the weak, they empower these dark forces and ultimately are it’s most numerable victims. So we should watch both the original “V” miniseries and its sequel, “V” the Final Battle, to learn how to recognize tyranny. Hope prevails when true heroes get involved to the best of their capacities, never expecting someone else to fight their battles for them. The only losers are those who self-righteously embrace oppression, because they will trading in their livelihood for someone else’s vision of how they should live (and die).
