In case you missed its release, Shogun is a new FX series that’s also streamed on Hulu and Disney+. As its name implies, it’s set during the late stages of Japan’s Sengoku Period (or Warring States period). Specifically, it’s based on the Shogun novel by James Clavell which is a historical fiction story that, while based on real events, is still very much a work of fiction.
