    The original Shogun, the series, from 1980 like the novel it was based upon,by James Clavell, was a masterpiece.

    Shogun is a miniseries produced by FX, based on the famous 1975 novel of the same name. With a first season of 10 episodes, I can only applaud and appreciate the privilege of witnessing such a well-made production, with a fascinating script and an impressive setting. The series follows the adventure of John Blackthorne, an English pilot who shipwrecks with his crew in Japan in 1600. This story serves as a thread t…
