Shōgun
Series Finale
The epic adventure, the second TV miniseries based on James Clavell’s blockbuster set in 17th-century Japan, finishes its 10-episode run with English pilot Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) reeling from tragedy and treachery, only to get a final lesson in strategy and cunning from his Japanese mentor and protector, Lord Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada). “I don’t control the wind. I only study it,” Toranaga declares. And which way the wind of fate blows could decide the nation’s next Shōgun.

Dulé Hill’s TV career (The West Wing, Psych, The Wonder Years) has been a joy to behold, and now fans can share his joy as he travels around the U.S. to celebrate innovators in the arts as they break down personal and cultural barriers in their communities. His first destination: California, where he meets a deaf dancer, Shaheem Sanchez, who defies the notion that the non-hearing are unable to move to a beat. Hill then encounters the Grant Avenue Follies, a cabaret ensemble from San Francisco’s Chinatown whose senior citizen members take on anti-Asian hate with their rap skills.
