Shogun

Well I can see why this won a lot of awards 

What is it about? It was a time of war between the Lords of Japan. Then one day a English forienger comes to the land and it will change the course of the war

Japanese culture: Its about honor and tradition. There are a lot of brutal killing here. I don't know how people are okay of dying. But this time Christianity has come to Japan so they do believe in some god. Plus the English to Japan language translated sometimes doesn't go true 

This show sucks: I was rooting for the main characters to get together but they didn't. To make matters worse after reading the book. The main protagonist is destined to lead a sucky life after the end

Season 2, 3: So since this show won countless awards. It has been renewed for 2 more seasons. But it won't be anytime soon when we get to see it. Proabably in a couple of years time
