Shōgun
Shōgun
Set in the 17th Century, the story is told from the perspective of British hero John Blackthorne, a sailor who rises from outsider to samurai, while being used as a pawn in Japanese leader Toranaga's struggle to reach the top of the ruling chain, or Shogun.

Not since GOT have I been so totally engrossed in a series... SHOGUN is phenomenal in its World building, its writing, its beauty. I perhaps wanted a little more in its closing episodes but if the quality of its parts and the story continues to grow as it has in season 1, then it’s subsequent seasons will be something very special indeed.
