The film-noir-ish Tokyo setting adds flair to this show. It gives It that unique vibe. Cast & acting is excellent. Especially knowing that many of them had to learn Japanese.
I find the characters and relationships interesting and I'm generally engaged in the story. It moves somewhat slow and the storyline is nothing special under that layer of flair though, but It's intriguing.
That changed mostly in the last episode, which really felt rushed suddenly with Samantha just deciding to trade all her cash reserves based on intel of a guy that she knew was really unreliable. Having been told a story of how careful, methodical and smart she Is that felt like a big let-down.
Then you see "why" they just wrote that in, just to tie story markers together with losing the character's credibility as a result.
Very disappointed ending of the first season. I hope they can manage better storytelling in the second season, because It has so many interesting ingredients.
