Shogun
FX, 10 p.m. New Series
Based on the epic 1975 novel that also inspired the Richard Chamberlain miniseries in 1980, this new series takes place in feudal Japan and follows the rise of Lord Toranaga, a powerful Japanese magnate, through the eyes of an English sailor named John Blackthorne — a character modeled after William Adams, the first English navigator to reach Japan in 1600. Many of the other characters were modeled after real historical figures important to Japanese culture, as well, including Lord Toranaga, played by Hiro Sanada. “It is a very universal drama,” Sanada said of the show. “Not just action, not just violence, geisha, stereotypes. Very universal, very poetic.”
