What’s the plot of Shogun?

If you haven’t tried out Shogun yet, you’ve got quite a journey ahead of you.

Shogun tells the story of several lords in feudal-era Japan jockeying for military control in the power vacuum left by a recently deceased leader. We’re introduced to their unstable world through the eyes of John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), an English sailor who drifts ashore with the tattered remnants of his crew. As Blackthorne is taken prisoner and eventually carves out a place for himself in Japanese society, Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) and Lady Toda Mariko (Anna Sawai) engage in their own power struggles.

With episode 4 on the horizon, war is brewing in the series as the various factions continue to vie for power.
