Tokyo Vice S1
Loosely inspired by Jake Adelstein’s non-fiction, first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, Tokyo Vice captures the American journalist’s daily descent into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in the late 90s, where nothing and no one was truly what or who they seemed.
Golden Globe nominee Ansel Elgort (Baby Driver) stars as Adelstein, opposite Oscar nominees Ken Watanabe (Inception, The Last Samurai) and Rinko Kikuchi (Babel, Pacific Rim), and the likes of Rachel Keller (A Man Called Otto, Fargo).
Four-time Oscar nominee Michael Mann (Heat) directs the pilot and is an executive producer, while Tony Award-winning playwright J.T. Rogers is the show creator.
Tokyo Vice has an 88% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, hailed as “beautifully shot and elegantly acted” by Variety and “addictive and brilliant” by Collider.
