    Sad to see this show being underrated. I finished it in one day. People stop watching a show just because it starts slow. But I guess that's their loss.
    This show was a breath of fresh air. The show has its dark moments but it also has good humor, good chemistry between characters, good acting. It will take you on an adventure and show you the side of Asia the western world doesn't necessarily want you to see. There were some really subtle acting moments on this show where characters do things that most viewers will miss but that's the beauty of it. It all feels so natural, you're led to feel as if you're a part of the story. 10/10 and 100% recommend you to watch.

But instead of following a DEA agent you follow a crime reporter and its not drugs but bringing to light the activities of the yakuza. The soundtrack, the story, the atmosphere all amazing and captures the dark side of Tokyo/Kabukicho feeling. I highly recommend people watch this show.

    Cannot believe its over now (as far as we know)
    This show was crafted perfectly. Capturing the culture of old Tokyo and the Yakuza was well done. The characters and story were written so good and they felt real so it was easy to attatch to a lot of them.
    However, the part that really should get praised highly is the cinematography, directing, editing, etc. EVERY scene always looked so good and it gave the show a unique look and tone to it.
    The show ending where it ended is perfect, but if there ever was a season 3 then id be happy but i would HOPE it only gets made if there is a story. (no punchline intended)

    I just finished the first two seasons and I was hooked, this was well shot, and well acted (considering this is the first time for me seeing any of these actors and actresses) they were phenomenal. They're portrayals were visceral and the relationships between the characters was palpable. Great job showing the inner workings of the Yakuza and the infiltration, how Jake worked his sources and used his own instincts, quick-thinking, and resources to work his was in and up. Great cinematography, showing all the areas of Tokyo and general culture of Japan.
    The statement that really captured the atmosphere for me was when Hiroto said to Jake "The right choice isn't always the moral one/I didn't want to dirty your hands"
    I love the way Tozawa was brought down, and how his wife pulled the strings, but I felt bad for Jake when she chastised him about the tape when neither of them knew his boss destroyed it to keep uncomfortable questions buried.

    As a Japanese citizen who has seen countless of dumb, nonsensical Western adaptations and portraits of Japanese culture through films and TV series, this might be the first time I didn't say "Yea, right...lol" while watching the trailer 👍🏼 Looking forward to seeing Hideaki Ito and Tomohisa Yamashita's in this

      Jake Adelstein himself recently confirmed on Twitter/X that season two is the last season, which I'm fine with as the second season finale was the perfect series conclusion and a third season isn't necessary and would probably only serve to undermine its own legacy-HBO/Max needs to develop an Ishida prequel series chronicling his rise to power within the Chihara Kai in the style of The Godfather Part II, that would be epic!

    This original mini-series elevates MAX in a big way! I am so grateful to all the producers and directors for bringing it to us! If you're just considering watching, I encourage you to listen twice to this introductory video before watching the show, and then google "cast of Tokyo Vice" to help you keep up. I watched Season 1 without closed captioning and was able to capture enough to understand; not true of S2. While initially the Japanese people all seem alike because you are taking in so much and so quickly that is foreign (sounds, connecting the facial expressions to those sounds, behaviors, etc.), pretty quickly you begin to see the individual characters, whatever part they are playing, in all their complexity and beauty. I was captivated by the sounds of the Japanese language, and sensed quickly that our languages shape us in profound ways -- this you see when star Ansel Elgort returns briefly in the show to the Midwest U.S. to visit his parents and sister. Brilliant acting by all, you will appreciate that of the main characters soon enough, but listen for the inimitable sound of total control in the softly raspy yet gruff voice of Japanese actor Shun Sugata, who plays the head of one of the two main organized crime families! Happy viewing!

    Ken Watanabe should have received an Oscar for his role as Katsumoto. If only they had made a franchise of his character, a 20 year war over the course of 6 movies. I would like to see him play a samurai again, he is perfect as one.

    Whomsoever is the creator of the background score, he needs an applaud. The elevation in the score that happens at 1:45 and the beats at the end (2:21) just enhances the trailer.

  • @CaffeyAaron

    Ngl man, this is one of the most interesting shows I’ve ever watched.. I love the storyline of Jake Adelstein as a crime reporter and how he continues to find himself in between conflict with the Tokyo mob.. I like the lead detective he works with as well.. Obviously, it’s based off a true story, so I assume Hiroto served as sort of a father figure to him in real life. That’s a nice touch. The casting is great too. Personally, I think Ansel Elgort is a very under-appreciated actor. He was phenomenal in The fault In Our Stars.
