FX’s Shogun has been a huge hit with critics already establishing itself as one of the year’s best-reviewed TV shows yet the series’ success is actually grounded in thematic connections with an earlier, ostensibly unrelated Jet Li movie. Set in feudal Japan in the early 17th century, Shogun is deliberate in its evocation of historical context and real events. While such attention to period detail makes it unique, the show’s broader themes of power, politics, and the establishment of a dynasty are more universal than other aspects of the story.
