Shōgun - Episode Eight and Nine Review

PLEASE NOTE - THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS

My impressions of Episodes Eight and Nine of the new FX adaptation of James Clavell's classic historical drama Shōgun.

Episode Eight - "The Abyss of Life". Toranaga’s defeated clan moves to Edo and awaits their fate. Blackthorne must decide who he fights for — the lord who has turned his back on him, or the ambition that brought him to Japan in the first place.

Episode Nine - "Crimson Sky". Mariko arrives in Osaka for the fight of her life. Blackthorne and Yabushige scramble to save their own heads as their options dwindle.

FX’s Shōgun, based on James Clavell’s bestselling novel, is set in Japan in the year 1600, at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. “Lord Yoshii Toranaga” (Hiroyuki Sanada) 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.

New Episodes are released every Tuesday on FX:
