Season 1 Review:
His [Blackthorne's] journey toward “enlightenment” and his unconvincing affair with Mariko are thinly sketched—and, because “Shōgun” is at pains to foreground the regents’ war, he has more to offer the narrative as a source of discord and of new martial technology than as a romantic hero.

But both are so bound by repression and secrecy that they’re almost doomed to be dramatically inert.
