Tokyo Vice (2022–2024)
9/10
Exceptionally good
4 April 2024
Tokyo Vice is gripping. As a cop/crime drama it avoids the pitfall cliches that many similar series succumb to. The storyline is excellent, based upon real-life memoirs, and gives fascinating insight into Japanese culture; especially that of the Yakuza organized crime network, the local Tokyo police, and the work of crime reporters.

The characters are all wonderfully rich and develop strongly as the plot progresses. Brilliant acting brings those characters to life and allows the audience to gain vibrant emotional connections and behavioral understandings.

Writing this at the conclusion of season 2, I would be overjoyed to hear that a third season was in the works. If not, the series will have concluded at a deeply satisfying point.
