The book this is based on is absolutely fascinating. If this series does it justice, this is going to be amazing to watch. Kudos to HBO Max for picking this book up, give your executive a raise, he/she have good taste. Plus, Ken Watanabe is a GOD, fantastic casting.

The pilot is directed by the one and only MICHAEL MANN of "Miami Vice" and "Heat" fame! Can't wait!

"Don't write about this" Years later..... "An HBOMAX original series"

I'll watch anything with Ken Watanabe. The man is easily one of the best actors ever.

"a man without enemies is no man at all..." God damn that line 😳😳😳

Whoever put together this trailer deserves a raise.

1:17 This man made the show 10x more fun to watch. Highly underrated character of this show.

Ansel Elgort is a good actor and his Japanese is actually pretty good. Obviously he does not sound like a native but I can tell he put effort into learning Japanese for this role. Looking forward to this series.

Ansel Elgort’s Japanese sounds quite impressive.

This series was unbelievable and the talent of the actors is highly underrated.

Ken Watanabe is simply iconic. I loved him in ‘Memoirs of a Geisha’.

Just binged episodes 1 through 7 today. The best way I can put it for people on the fence about watching this show is it's basically Narcos if it was set in Japan. But instead of following a DEA agent you follow a crime reporter and its not drugs but bringing to light the activities of the yakuza. The soundtrack, the story, the atmosphere all amazing and captures the dark side of Tokyo/Kabukicho feeling. I highly recommend people watch this show.

Sad to see this show being underrated. I finished it in one day. People stop watching a show just because it starts slow. But I guess that's their loss. This show was a breath of fresh air. The show has its dark moments but it also has good humor, good chemistry between characters, good acting. It will take you on an adventure and show you the side of Asia the western world doesn't necessarily want you to see. There were some really subtle acting moments on this show where characters do things that most viewers will miss but that's the beauty of it. It all feels so natural, you're led to feel as if you're a part of the story. 10/10 and 100% recommend you to watch.

In Japan, no publisher would touch this book with a 40-foot pole. Nice to see it getting wide publicity with legit Japanese movie stars.

Probably my most anticipated new series of 2022, and the trailer definitely didnt disappoint!

I’ve been living in Japan for the past 6 years and I gotta say, Ansel’s Japanese is quite good! Very impressed.

HBO don't leave us hanging. I became a Max subscriber for this show. Season 2 please... and thank you! And don't change the cast.

I need more seasons of this show! It's phenomenal! I can't believe we only get one more ep. Please HBO Max give us another season of this. I'm hooked

This cast and storyline with the backdrop of beautiful Tokyo is amazing. I can't wait to watch this.

The actor plays Sato really gave me chill. Looking forward to watch this series soon.

HBO Max: Let's make a series based on a true story in one of the most popular countries in Asia and have arguably the biggest Japanese actor to star in it. People in Asia getting on HBO Max: "Sorry, HBO MAX isn’t available in your region yet."

half way through episode 2 and im really enjoying it. The vibe, the city.

Ansel's Japanese is amazing! To me, it sounds like the Japanese of someone who has lived there for a long time. Beautiful on its own✨

They had me in with Ken Watanabe and Rinko Kikuchi, but if they had cast Takeshi Kitano, I would have already said this would be a classic.

Man the quality HBO and WB produce is just amazing. This is why I canceled all my streaming apps for HBO Max.

I love the Asian culture so much. Grew up on their art and cinema as a Nigerian in America. I’m watching this for sure!!! 🙏🏾

Simply amazing, i trusted these positive comments here and watched the show and i was not dissapointed, i was left speechless at the end because i just wanted more ! Gladly there will be season 2. Ansel is so damn great and the rest of the cast too, must watch, this is a masterpiece.

I could write sonnets about how amazing this show is. Michael Mann directing. The original author of the book as an executive producer. Ken Watanabe being Ken Watanabe (always awesome). Tons of outstanding scenes and sets in Tokyo. 🤤 🇯🇵 Thank you, HBO - for green lighting this show! ❤️ 👍

1980s -Miami Vice from Mann 2020s Tokyo Vice from Mann too back to origins!

The first three episodes are amazing.

Cannot believe its over now (as far as we know) This show was crafted perfectly. Capturing the culture of old Tokyo and the Yakuza was well done. The characters and story were written so good and they felt real so it was easy to attatch to a lot of them. However, the part that really should get praised highly is the cinematography, directing, editing, etc. EVERY scene always looked so good and it gave the show a unique look and tone to it. The show ending where it ended is perfect, but if there ever was a season 3 then id be happy but i would HOPE it only gets made if there is a story. (no punchline intended)

This is a year of Michael Mann: Heat 2 novel, Tokyo Vice, Enzo Ferrari biopic

Looks fantastic and Michael Mann's involvement just seals the deal for me .

This is one of the best trailers i have ever seen. Truly great editing, sound, music. Bravo!

I suggest you take a moment to watch the intro of this show. It's not boring I guarantee you that. I always skip intros but on episode 2 after skipping the intro, something caught my attention and I realized how beautifully animated it was. I had to rewind and replay the intro twice cuz it's so well done. Do watch it at least once to appreciate the hard work of the person that made the intro. 😍🔥

Been waiting for the series for what seems like 5 years now. Happy it's finally coming out!

As a Japanese citizen who has seen countless of dumb, nonsensical Western adaptations and portraits of Japanese culture through films and TV series, this might be the first time I didn't say "Yea, right...lol" while watching the trailer 👍🏼 Looking forward to seeing Hideaki Ito and Tomohisa Yamashita's in this

About time Rinko Kikuchi gets more roles that exposes her talents to the masses 🔥

As someone fascinated with Japan and the Yakuza, I'm surprised I only learn about this show now, it looks really good!

Hope they get another season! Just finished season 2 and was a beautiful ending!

Then singing back street boys is priceless lol 😂

Ngl man, this is one of the most interesting shows I’ve ever watched.. I love the storyline of Jake Adelstein as a crime reporter and how he continues to find himself in between conflict with the Tokyo mob.. I like the lead detective he works with as well.. Obviously, it’s based off a true story, so I assume Hiroto served as sort of a father figure to him in real life. That’s a nice touch. The casting is great too. Personally, I think Ansel Elgort is a very under-appreciated actor. He was phenomenal in The fault In Our Stars.

Just watched it in one sitting,AMAZING!!!!!! The beginning was a bit slow but i knew it was going to be one of those series that grow on you,by episode 2 i was hooked! This is such a mature breath of fresh air when it comes to HBO series,tired of the sci-fi and crime detective series,this is so intricate,engaging and mature. I LOVE IT

Fully on board. This is the type of content HboMax needs. Keep'em coming.

I always thought Ansel was a good actor, glad to see him getting some fantastic roles

"A man without enemies is no man at all." Well, he's right about that

Ken Watanabe should have received an Oscar for his role as Katsumoto. If only they had made a franchise of his character, a 20 year war over the course of 6 movies. I would like to see him play a samurai again, he is perfect as one.

This looks excellent. The book was a great read and this looks to be just as exciting.

I think it’s wild how much older Rinko Kikuchi looks in this compared to 10 years ago in Pacific Rim. I know a decade is a long time but man.

Just finished season 1… incredible. New favorite show.

This original mini-series elevates MAX in a big way! I am so grateful to all the producers and directors for bringing it to us! If you're just considering watching, I encourage you to listen twice to this introductory video before watching the show, and then google "cast of Tokyo Vice" to help you keep up. I watched Season 1 without closed captioning and was able to capture enough to understand; not true of S2. While initially the Japanese people all seem alike because you are taking in so much and so quickly that is foreign (sounds, connecting the facial expressions to those sounds, behaviors, etc.), pretty quickly you begin to see the individual characters, whatever part they are playing, in all their complexity and beauty. I was captivated by the sounds of the Japanese language, and sensed quickly that our languages shape us in profound ways -- this you see when star Ansel Elgort returns briefly in the show to the Midwest U.S. to visit his parents and sister. Brilliant acting by all, you will appreciate that of the main characters soon enough, but listen for the inimitable sound of total control in the softly raspy yet gruff voice of Japanese actor Shun Sugata, who plays the head of one of the two main organized crime families! Happy viewing!

The books fantastic! If the series stays true to what’s in the book, we are in for a wild ride!

Whomsoever is the creator of the background score, he needs an applaud. The elevation in the score that happens at 1:45 and the beats at the end (2:21) just enhances the trailer.

the first episode was immaculate! my new favorite show! nice one HBO 👍🏼

I'm not gonna lie, I'm interested in this show because it's in Tokyo

I demand a season 2!

This series is a masterpiece enough said !

HBO is crushing it !!! Keep it up.

Michael's the Mann 🙏🏼

If anyone is planning to watch this series.. I will highly recommend. You don't have to watch other reviews.... Great actors, great performance... U will not at all bored... Full packed underrated series

finally an American show with actual japanese actors playing japanese characters!!! (most are always Chinese/Korean people which totally makes sense..)

Just saw the pilot ... totally lives up to the hype

Just finished season 1 and I'm very impressed! Solid show and I hope for more seasons!

Omg flipping goodness!!! I can't get enough of this show. Now it's finale... 🤯. Addictive as heck. Superb acting.

Really looking forward to this. And Im actually impressed and surprised Elgort's Japanese doesn't sound like complete garbage like most actors in everything else. Seems like he and/or the production put some effort into that. Which is kind of the bare minimum you can do to be somewhat respectful to a people, nation, society, etc. Kudos, nonetheless (from a nobody on the interwebs).

Love the book by Jake Adelstein, and I am quite hyped about this series.

When I was Stationed in Japan 🇯🇵 I've seen many things. The Book "Tokyo Vice" is Awesome 👍😎😱!

My gawd just finished episode 5 it's just keeps getting better!!! The departed meets The Godfather meets Killbill.

Have seen 4 episodes yet and absolutely love it. Got a nice storyline, interesting characters and anything can happen vibe.

This show is so f*cking good I can't believe it. My favorite character is Sato! ! ! I recommend this show to all it's totally worth it :-)

Miami Vice, now Tokyo Vice Ansel learnt Japanese for this role

This looks so good! The book was great & 10 episodes with Ansel can’t wait! Better than a movie. Thx HBOMax!

Baby got tired of doing all the small fry crimes. Now he's moved onto bigger and more dangerous gigs.

I need season 2 asap, its been a long time waiting for this.

HBO has really been killing it this year already with Euphoria, Peacemaker, and Winning Time so I have high hopes

Best show of 2022 for me, Please make a season 2

I love this show, you guys better make more. I'm waiting like crazy for the next season.

今すぐでも見たい。 I wish I could watch this season ASAP.

Wow, Ansel's Japanese is so good--it's so natural.

Been waiting for this one for a while! Excited it’s finally here.

記者会見でアンセルが話した日本語が思いのほか流暢でとてもビックリしたよ。

Has something to do with Japan? GET ME KEN WATANABE. - Every hollywood movie, ever.

Watched the first 2 episodes and going in for ep. 3 - This show is so good!!!!!

So obsessed with this show now

need that season 2. most immersive show i've seen since luther

What a great show. A fresh story line, good acting all around, giving you the feeling your actually witnessing everything for real. The show needs to be good if you need to read half the show with captions. It's worth the read. We're waiting for season three with excitement and interest.

Michael Mann has directed the pilot episode 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #MannMade

Top movie! Amazing actors, the Tokyo atmosphere in the late 90s that they are creating is amazing!

In my humble opinion this is the best show of 2022 it's very good.

I saw already sold they showed ken Watanabe. Easily one of my most favorite actors of all time.

Give me a season 2!!! Cast is incredible. A world we never get to see uncovered properly.

I hope Takeshi's cameo will be in the series

"What's it like to be a yakuza?" "You know, there's way more karaoke than you might expect."

I just finished the first two seasons and I was hooked, this was well shot, and well acted (considering this is the first time for me seeing any of these actors and actresses) they were phenomenal. They're portrayals were visceral and the relationships between the characters was palpable. Great job showing the inner workings of the Yakuza and the infiltration, how Jake worked his sources and used his own instincts, quick-thinking, and resources to work his was in and up. Great cinematography, showing all the areas of Tokyo and general culture of Japan. The statement that really captured the atmosphere for me was when Hiroto said to Jake "The right choice isn't always the moral one/I didn't want to dirty your hands" I love the way Tozawa was brought down, and how his wife pulled the strings, but I felt bad for Jake when she chastised him about the tape when neither of them knew his boss destroyed it to keep uncomfortable questions buried.

HBO has always been the Best to produce shows that have quality. Looking. Forward to this

Now this looks intriguing 🧐

I watched the first episode and thought: "I haven´t seen movies with this quality for ages. This is really good!" When the episode ends it finally hit me: "Directed by Michael Mann". He´s "only" my favorite director.

woah this looks FANTASTIC

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord...
