A refreshing and well thought series. The only downside of the series is that it is ONLY 7 episodes. The season 1 finale is a cliffhanger and I'm not sure how they can come up with season 2 if they wish to film more episodes after a successful season 1.

The series portrays the ugly side of how swindlers do things such as lies, betrayals, and murders. A great acting on all actors on how they portray their character all throughout the episodes.

The reason why I said it is refreshing is because in reality some people are really there to trick you. This series will make viewers cautious when buying real estate or land to do their due diligence before coming up with a decision.

Wow. Great show. Solid narrative. Superb pace. Smashing suspense. Really excellently-written with fabulous character-development.

Characters are very interesting and dynmaic and the chemistry works super-well. From incredibly awkward paid people placed in big stake operations to the big evil boss to crazy personalities in Tokyo's underbelly. Top stuff.

I really loved this show. I'm 5/7th of my way through and I watch a lot of Japanese cinema and I'm now curious to see what other shows Hitoshi Ône will make. He has talant. This is definitely what Netflix needs more of.

Original and gripping drama with fabulous characters. Please do more of this Netflix.

This story is based on a real crime happened in 2017 in Tokyo. The criminal group was much bigger than in the TV series, but mostly the stories are real and it's well performed. The guy in charge (Harrison Yamanaka in the TV series) was a legendary land swindler in real story, and he committed so many real estate sales frauds in the past like in the TV series. It is an interesting show to watch.

I was not crazy about some fictional parts because some parts are so unrealistic like hitting by a car suddenly...etc.

But I enjoyed the castings and the series overall.

Btw, those criems are still actively going on in Japan 2024.

The cast works so well together. This Japanese TV series has a very original plot compared to western TV shows. It's a refreshing change of pace. The music was incredible and dramatic. I genuinely could not predict what happened next. Enjoy this emotional rollercoaster! Netflix has a way of churning out some great content purely by accident. Hope there is a season 2. I loved Go Ayano's performance! Just wanted to warn any readers that there is very graphic content in this series which is something to consider for family audiences. This TV series made me feel like there is a hidden dark side to Japan.

We all know japan excels in anime but when it comes TV most of them were a miss at least for me, maybe coz I compare them to k dramas. This show surprised me!

The plot was perfectly paced and would keep you at the edge of the seat throughout. The acting was strong from all the cast members and the music is really good but was overused a little. The screeplay is good along with the production value.

The only thing I didn't like it how they slightly dragged the finale to may be make another season? I don't know. But the series could have be easily wrapped up in seven episodes! You can definitely binge this in a weekend!
