Tokyo Vice

Enjoyed the first three episodes, invested in the main characters and keen to discover what happens next. Daunting at first with the skew toward Japanese with subtitles, though the balance has changed and this has eased significantly. Some great direction producing fine imagery through use of cinematography, wardrobe and linguistics. It is clear the story is a whodunnit exploring the contrast between conformity & self and honour & honesty.

Some fine performances from Ansel Elgort (Jake), Rachel Keller (Samantha) who was excellent as Syd in Legion, Ken Watanabe (Katagiri) and Rinko Kikuchi (Eimi). Each of these characters has been well fleshed out and we understand their respective motivations, their relationship to one another and their place and contribution to the plot.
