There was plenty to love about season one of Tokyo Vice, Max’s noirish escapade based on the real-life experiences of Western journalist Jake Adelstein. High-stakes drama at its finest, the series created by J.T. Rogers (Oslo) quickly found a fan base that appreciated the compelling world-building on display here and a slew of characters caught in life-and-death situations. Most of all, there was something a bit daring about approaching Adelstein’s experiences and putting a cinematic spin on them. And stars Ansel Elgort (West Side Story), Oscar-nominee Ken Watanabe (The Creator, Godzilla), Rachel Keller (A Man Called Otto), Show Kasamatsu, Rinko Kikuchi, and Ayumi Ito created one of the best casts featured in a new series.
