Screens/Streaming

Shōgun

Where: Disney+
What: Miniseries, 10 episodes, 60 mins.
When: Now, new episodes every Tuesday
Genre: Historical drama
Rating: NNNN (out of 5)
Why you should watch: Gorgeous, grand, sexy, cruel and, at times, confusing, the latest version of this tale of 16th century British sailor John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), who washes ashore in Imperial Japan, should satisfy all lovers of dragon-powered epics until the next fire-breather shows up. Jarvis is sufficiently earnest and driven as the Brit ready to battle the Portuguese and any Catholics he encounters as he is passed from one Japanese lord to another. Plenty of scenes set in the first two episodes with the promise of a satisfying epic of a series.
