There’s a debate raging in my household over “Shogun” on Hulu. I think it’s a fascinating look inside the power politics and culture of Japan, chock-full of character building and tension. Other family members are complaining — and rightly so — that nothing is really happening.
Where are the huge battles? Where’s the “Game of Thrones”-like bloodshed? Now that I’m on episode 7, I get the criticism. In fact, I’d argue that “Shogun” is the “Seinfeld” of epic TV shows so far because of all the perceived “nothingness.” And to me that’s actually a good thing.
