5/5

Each episode of Shōgun has incorporated much of the ensemble -- though Toranaga is notably absent here -- but from beginning to end, this is Mariko’s episode. It’s also the best of the series so far.

4.5/5

While Toranaga and Blackthorne might occasionally claim center stage for themselves, Shogun is Mariko's story as much as anyone else's, and her perseverance and translation skills have enabled her to serve as the bridge that unites the two men's worlds.

... Shōgun has become Mariko's story, and this week proves just as much a showcase for the character herself as it is for Sawai's stunning ability to leave us hanging on her every word.
