Tokyo Vice

Tokyo vice would be good if it didn't gave a a western perspective on japanese culture.If it had a Japanese lead, speaking all the time Japanese and didn't have explain Japanese culture and talk down to the audience. Make the police inspector or the newspaper editor the main character, instead of the charisma void that is Ansel Elgort. Spends too much time on chasing storylines that go nowhere.Introduce more plotlines in last two episodes as cliffhangers.So far a bunch of missed opportunities.

Tokyo Trope

Score would be higher if the white immigrant (sorry, expat) lead was someone more charismatic than Elgort, or if someone Japanese was the main character. Also, not nearly enough brooding night-time shots of neon cityscapes in a show that hypes its Michael Mann connection.

I liked season 1, but season 2 is a drag

S1: 84

It had everything I missed from the other tv series Gori / Haji. It's not a perfect show but it has potential, Looking forward to season 2, i hope it can foster it's Professional style and will not Drift too much into fancy / shmanzy populistic way

I thought Elgort, an actor whose acting I usually don't appreciate, actually acquitted himself pretty well in this bog-standard but entertaining crime thriller show. (1 season)

OMG this starts so slow and terribly. You need to give it until episode 3, when it becomes ok. By episode 5 it's fairly interesting. I'm writing this on episode 6 and I've decided it's decent.

I found this series extremely intriguing. The Tokyo setting and its aesthetics are the cornerstone of the show. I ended up loving Shô Kasamatsu as Sato, and felt that Ansel Elgort did a great job at portraying a smug journalist. The season was by no means perfect, with some odd issues with dubbing and continuity. Super excited for season 2.

It's nice to see Michael Mann again. He really manages to create an atmosphere of thriller and crime. Normally I'm not an Ansel Elgort fan, I even rate him overrated and I can't say I really liked his performance in Tokyo Vice. It is a very valuable show in terms of learning Japanese culture and getting to know it better. I'm looking forward to the next episodes. My rating may up or down later.

In the middle of the first season I thought this was flippin' fantastic! But did not end on a high. Still, very hopeful of seeing another season!

Season 1 is great. Everything is so sharp, well built and carefully planned. Season 2 has, so far, fallen off a cliff.
