    Mr. Mann is a legendary storyteller and I can think of no better person to tell this type of story . I hope he makes a Heat tv series . Now that would be amazing !

    Interesting take on the Yakuza. Maybe a bit slow on the first episode and the American journalist slightly annoying, but the Japanese cast I felt played their roles well. Yakuza tradition portrayed well? Can't wait for the second season.

    Finally, a good TV show with a great cast. HBO continues to make some of the best TV w/ Euphoria and now this. Fingers crossed the rest of the season keeps up with what we have seen so far.

    While there a couple of flat spots, this series on police, the press and the Yakuza in Japan builds nicely towards it's gripping final couple of episodes. Well written and acted, this series shows plenty of potential going forward.

    It all feels as dated as Miami Vice’s fashion sense.

    With style, intelligence and mystery to spare, Tokyo Vice is the kind of sprawling crime drama that actually lives up to the label of ‘prestige’ TV.

    “Tokyo Vice” feels much different than typical American crime, with action based on calm, firm interactions that exchange secrets, and can be spiked with alternating honor and shame. Everyone is holding their end of a deal, until they decide not to. Aside from making for scenes of uniformly strong performances, it all gives the series an enticing slow burn.
