"Shōgun," created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, takes place at the turn of the 17th century in Japan. Hiroyuki Sanada as Yoshii Toranaga in the series premiere of "Shōgun." The Washington Post's Lili Loofbourow wrote that "Shōgun" will draw comparisons to "Game of Thrones" because it has a "proven combination of gorgeous set pieces, moral ambiguity, cliffhangers (literally, in one case!) According to critics, however, FX's "Shōgun" more effectively shifts the focus to the story's cast of Japanese characters.

CNN —In the early heyday of miniseries, “Shōgun” was the show of the year in 1980, and it might be again 44 years later. That chaos also creates the possibility of one regent emerging to consolidate power, and perhaps even gain the title of shōgun. Of course, in today’s heavily fragmented streaming environment “Shōgun” won’t be the massive ratings hit that it was back when there were three broadcast networks (and not much else), but those who wade into this dense history will be amply rewarded. “All men can be broken,” Toranaga muses at one point, with a quiet sense of menace and determination. If only all limited series could be half as good as “Shōgun.”“Shōgun” premieres February 27 on Hulu and at 10 p..m. ET the same day on FX.

AdvertisementFX's "Shōgun" is a new series that takes viewers into 1600s Edo-era Japan, adapting James Clavell's novel and drawing on real-life history. The show stars Hiroyuki Sanada (also a producer) as Lord Yoshii Toranaga, a figure akin to the real-life shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu. When Englishman John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) washes ashore, he becomes an important figure in Toranaga's power struggle. Toda Mariko (Anna Sawai), a noblewoman, serves as their translator.

Mikey Taylor started his career as a professional skateboarder making barely enough money to get by. He now runs a real-estate fund and educates investors on how to create a road to financial freedom. "There was a part of skateboarding that really changed the way I looked at the world," Taylor told Insider. "One hundred grand as a professional skateboarder doesn't feel like one hundred grand in a more conventional career because our careers are so short," Taylor told Insider. Setting the groundwork for his life after skateboarding, Taylor started investing in the stock market and bonds at age 20.
