HBO Tokyo Vice (Season 2)

[Shenco]

Based on Jake Adelstein's non-fiction first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, starring Ken Watanabe. The drama captures Adelstein's daily descent into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo, where nothing and no one is truly what or who they seem.

The first 3 episodes are out right now on HBO Max.

I just watched the first episode as of this posting and I gotta say that I would hate to be a journalist in Japan. I get why it's like that, but talk about no freedom at all.​

I watched the first 3.

It’s not bad. Co-sign on journalism being kind of a pointless profession in Japan, at least crime reporting

Miami Vice is a classic show, so this should be interesting.
