I liked the series but the ending was very underwhelming. There has to be a season 2 because there's no way that was it.

Remember the opening scene with Jake & Katagiri meeting the Yakuza in the hotel? Nothing in the show even touched upon that. So yeah, HBO Max better announce that 2nd season ASAP.

I really wanted to like this show but God damn what a disappointment.

Two unlikable cacs as the leads who I couldn't care less about. These two going in fukking circles with the plot barely moving forward. The dynamic between the cops and the Yakuza to me was the most intriguing part about the show and could've used way more of. Instead we're given more of these dumb ass cacs and their ultra simpette friend who gets herself bodied :snoop:

If it wasn't for the top notch production quality this would've been bushed long ago.

Luckily I have Pachinko to cleanse me of this trash

The whole show is a genre piece, (Mann, is in a sense, a genre director) but the last several episodes went too far into those cliches, and didn't sink the show, but put some holes in it. Some of those scenes were rough, and not in a good way. Too on the nose, too much swaggering sociopath villain, too much goofy white antics. It lost the touch of the first episode, which carried mostly through 5. It was the last two that felt the weakest.

And the pilots first sequence was never circled back to, and honestly feels like a different show. I think Mann (or whomever) probably had a lot of notes from the studios, to include some of the weaker stuff, given the relative quality of the first episode, compared to the last. Some of those sequences were like writers workshop at first year film school or something. Stuff I came up with when I was a child.

The finale felt written like a show hedging it's bets, on being renewed, but not certain of it, which hurts it creatively, because it had less weight to all it's punches, and doubles down too far on sleaze Netflix C list thriller tropes like a video tape of a murder, and the speech in the warehouse. That was poorly done.

Loved it, as a whole though, and especially the first 5, which are some of the best TV episodes in awhile, for me, in it's genre.

That Yakuza ritual in the first season was one of my favorite TV scenes in a while.
