Staring
Hiroyuki Sanada, Cosmo Jarvis, Anna Sawai, and Tadanobu Asano
Overview
An epic saga of war, passion, and power set in Feudal Japan.
In Japan in the year 1600, at the dawn of a century-defining civil war, Lord Yoshii Toranaga is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him, when a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village.
Review
Shōgun
Intense and epic while also deeply character-centric. The acting is superb and Anna Sawai deserves a ton of awards for her work. Now we wait for whenever season two comes around.
