Shogun has skyrocketed to the top of the streaming ratings, a little over a month since its initial two-episode release, with millions of views in its first week.

This wasn't an easy feat considering the debut success of other FX or Hulu hard-hitters, such as The Bear, The Handmaid's Tale, and The Great.

Immediate comparisons to Game of Thrones were inevitable, given the show's heavy political intrigues set in 17th-century feudal Japan.

As with most popular debuts that delve heavily into cultures foreign to our own, some critics pointed to the white savior trope, drawing lines between Shogun and Dances with Wolves, The Last Samurai, and even Avatar.

When Fox's Gotham returned from its lengthy midseason hiatus last month, the first two episodes focused on new villain Mr. Freeze (Nathan Darrow), who, along with the mysterious Hugo Strange (B.D. Wong), are the latest additions to the show's rogue's gallery. While we certainly haven't seen the last of Freeze, the show will be turning its attention to another villain in the making, Edward Nygma (Cory Michael Smith), the future Riddler, in next week's episode This Ball of Mud and Meanness, airing Monday, March 14. Fox has released the first photos from this episode, and while we don't see Nygma in a full Riddler costume full of question marks, it's clear he's now heading down the path to becoming this iconic villain.

The episode centers on Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Bullock (Donal Logue), who investigate a trail of clues left in a museum robbery, which, unbeknownst to them, were left by...
