After a narratively rocky start held together largely through Michael Mann’s undeniable craftsmanship, the show slowly comes into its own over the next few episodes, becoming richer and more interesting with each one. It’s a program that will demand patience, but that increasingly feels like it will be worth the effort.

Viewers will be won over by this series’ charms and mysteries, even if it frustrates and falls short in some of the aspects that draw in viewers in the first place, specifically Mann’s involvement and the thinly drawn Adelstein. Still, the series lives up to its namesake city by offering intrigue and quirky surprises in equal parts.

Tokyo Vice has some narrative problems as hard to miss as a flashing neon sign, but it's kept watchable by its slick style and strong performances until its story picks up. Once it does, it's pretty engrossing. It just takes longer than it should, and you may have checked out by then.

Finally, a good TV show with a great cast. HBO continues to make some of the best TV w/ Euphoria and now this. Fingers crossed the rest of the season keeps up with what we have seen so far.

Interesting take on the Yakuza. Maybe a bit slow on the first episode and the American journalist slightly annoying, but the Japanese cast I felt played their roles well. Yakuza tradition portrayed well? Can't wait for the second season.

While there a couple of flat spots, this series on police, the press and the Yakuza in Japan builds nicely towards it's gripping final couple of episodes. Well written and acted, this series shows plenty of potential going forward.

Mr. Mann is a legendary storyteller and I can think of no better person to tell this type of story . I hope he makes a Heat tv series . Now that would be amazing !
