FXmay have another historical drama hit on its hands, as a new series debuts with a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score. It’s been a big year for the cable network, which bested competitors at the Primetime Emmys and swept the Outstanding Drama and Outstanding Comedy categories withthe one-two punch ofShōgunandThe Bear.
While there is some disagreement about whetherThe Bearis actually a comedy, there is no denying the success ofShōgun. The historical drama has a strong argument to make as one of the best shows of the year, delighting both audiences and critics. A new offering from FX, which streams on Hulu, aims to do the same.
