Ok, before I start, let me be honest and state that I am a devotee of " The Wire". For me, It's set an impossible bar for anything else .
Tokyo Vice is not The Wire, but in itself, it is also an astonishing piece of storytelling. Beautifully filmed, a beautiful cast and for me, a very rare window into the most culturally advanced society on Earth... Japan.
The main protagonist is a tenacious , young American journalist who embraces Japan fully and his tenacity lifts wide open a window into the Yakuza. I do not know a great deal about the Yakuza, just the standard stuff but you soon understand its crime with culture. The story is gripping. The plot lines and sub plots all work together to feed the main story.
Tokyo Vice never pretends to be The Wire or even The Sopranos. But it is simply unmissable. This is an absolute diamond of a show. You owe it to yourself to see this.
