Sh\u014dgun<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, FX\u2019s highly-anticipated series set in 16th century feudal Japan, lives up to the hype. Based on the 1975 James Clavell novel of the same name, Sh\u014dgun<\/em> is a masterpiece of political intrigue, with a heightened hypersensitivity reflecting the life-or-death stakes of Japanese warrior ethos. One such tradition is seppuku, best described as ritual suicide performed to save one\u2019s dignity. If only one unnecessary scene in the premiere episode could\u2019ve shown a little dignity, seppuku-style, and taken itself out.<\/p>\n

But first, some plot context. We encounter feudal Japan through Englishman John Blackthorne, and Cosmo Jarvis\u2019 performance will likely remind some of Tom Hardy\u2019s as Max in Mad Max: Fury Road<\/a><\/em>; both are portrayals of outsiders who might otherwise suffer culture shock in a new land, if it wasn\u2019t for the constant perils of being held prisoner by a mighty warlord. <\/p>\n
