Thank you! Jake pissed me off with all his decisions. So did Samantha. as I was saying in that thread, they're 100% suburban Americans with no street smarts, dealing with the streets in a foreign country.

Not just any streets. One of the most notoriously complex and ritualistic "gang" cultures in the world. Half the shyt the Yakuza used to do was so woven into the fabric that it teetered on legality.

And you're supposed to be writing exposé on them? (I know it's based on a real dude, but still).

Tokyo Vice is a bad show in general, so even an unlikeable character from Shogun will be much better than the Tokyo Vice protagonist.

Props to 5-6 Japanese actors holding Tokyo Vice together. From the bad original material by the real Jake Adelstein to bad acting by the fake Jake Adelstein to awful interactions between American and Japanese characters, it's just frustrating show to watch. I gave up on episode two of season 2.

If that show was based in Berlin instead of Tokyo it would've been canceled right away.
