Like a Dragon: Yakuza

Having played the games, I found the series very disappointing. In my opinion they did a disservice to the characters. The story is very different from the game storylines. As a result I found it confusing and difficult to follow. The ever going back and forth between time periods didn't help. Despite that, the series does have entertainment value. The acting is decent (and consistent) throughout the series. There is good character development. The cinematography was very good and action sequences flowed nicely. Once in a while the camera angle used or lighting made a scene difficult to follow. From reading reviews of fans of the game, the series was a disappointment. I have to agree, but I still found it entertaining.
