I can't stress enough how good this show is! It is intense, beautiful, and intriguing in every moment. I can't take my eyes off the screen when Shogun is on; the story the acting (Hiroyuki Sanada is mesmerizing, as always), the wardrobe, and set designs are beyond phenomenal. I never read the book but I'm going to now, and I fear it won't live up to the show (and I'm a reader so i can't even think of an example where the live-action version of a book was better than the book).
I hope the creative team does more after this limited series because they have an amazing team right now. If u only have the time or the bandwidth (mentally) for one serious show, make it this one. You won't be disappointed.
