The American characters in Tokyo Vice were annoying.

Ken Watanabe is excellent in everything he's in. Shô Kasamatsu as Sato stole the show. He became a star in this series! Rinko Kikuchi (Emi), Ayumi Ito (Misaki), and Ayumi Tanida (Tozawa) were excellent as well.

However, every scene that had either Jake or Samantha in it made me want to throw something at the screen!

That said, I really hope it comes back with rebooted story for a Season 3. Apparently, there were other books by the real life Jake Adelstein about crime in Japan outside of Yakuza that would make fascinating story lines.

Also, the real life person Tozawa based off of was never caught and lived into his seventies.


I watched and loved Girl/Haji as well. I was hoping for a season 2 of that as well. Guess not.
