Shōgun quickly caused quite a stir when it premiered on February 27. Set in 1600s Japan, the series focuses on a period of strife in the country, as rival leaders attempt to position themselves for an impending battle and the European world is learning of and attempting to insert its influence over the island nation. The series' massive scale and political intrigue definitely part of the fun to watch, but credit must also go to the Shōgun cast, who have quickly made an impression on viewers.
