FX’s New Historical Epic Shōgun Loses 100% Rotten Tomatoes Title After 70 Glowing Reviews

FX’s latest historical epic has been the subject of much critical acclaim, but Shōgun can no longer claim complete perfection. Based on James Clavell’s book, the show follows an ensemble cast of characters but mostly sets its focus on its three leads. The show has ten episodes, but there are hopes that it could be renewed for a season 2, should season 1 achieve the necessary level of success. Critics and audiences alike have been heavily praising the show.

Shōgun‘s many positive reviews has been driving attention to the show, but FX can no longer claim that all critics have offered it perfect results. While it previously boasted a 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer score, it finally has a rotten result, which has taken its Tomatometer score down to 99 percent at the time of writing. The audience score also has failed to achieve absolute perfection, as the score has been steady at 94 percent.
