The 1600s feudal Japan war story in Shōgun has sat upon countless bookshelves since its 1975 release by author James Clavell as part of his Asian Saga. That type of built-in audience, coupled with word of mouth that this series could be the next big thing, has yielded incredible ratings. Variety now reports that the first six days after the series’ debut episodes resulted in 9 million views on streaming “with a view defined as total stream time divided by runtime.” That’s even higher than The Bear‘s results, so FX is doing pretty darn well lately at nailing must-see shows.
