Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4296956, member: 1414"] Sometimes you blunder into something. Needed a show saw Tokyo Vice on HBOMax. Turns out it just came out. First two episodes are superb. This is gripping and compelling. It’s based on a true story of an American who went to work for the top paper in Tokyo in the 1990s. Michael Mann directs the first episode and it has that gritty feel that Miami Vice did at the time. There is a lot of casual racism directed at the gaijin, but he’s smart and is coloring outside the lines. Something foreign to the Japanese. The intro gives you a sense of where that leads, then it’s a flashback from there. Ken Wattanabe is the actor you’d know and evidently checked all the dialogue. [/QUOTE]
