Critic Reviews
Shōgun Review: The Epic That Dethrones the White Savior
★★★★★
FX's Shōgun reinvents Clavell's doorstop novel by quietly shifting the camera off its English castaway and onto the Japanese court around him — a political epic told, at last, from the inside, in its own language.
A sumptuous, intelligent triumph that reclaims a colonial-era story for the culture it depicts. Prestige television at its most assured.
