Yeah considering that is how the book ended. I'd rather they did another James Clavell's books.
Agreed. I don't think this is the right move. Without a solid source material to base on, things could get tricky plot-wise. Game of Thrones' final season was slammed by critics and fans for ending on a poor note, partly because the producers ran out of books to adapt and had to figure out things on their own, with only a vague guideline from George RR Martin. The result was subpar. I hope Shogun won't be repeating Game of Throne mistake.
Now I suppose its possible the Shogun producers can work out a decent story to carry on with a season 2, but I doubt it, because the producers themselves sound like the story was done and they don't have any good ideas to carry on. This sounds more like the TV network pressuring them to continue. That's usually not a good sign for the show in terms of quality and reception.
