Today, on The Goggler Podcast, Bahir and Uma watch and review Season 1 of Tokyo Vice before the second season drops on HBO.
The series is based on American journalist Jake Adelstein’s non-fiction book Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat. The crime drama series, filmed on location in Tokyo, captures Adelstein’s daily descent into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in the late ‘90s, where nothing and no one is truly what or who they seem. It was created by J. T. Rogers, executive produced by Michael Mann, and stars Ansel Elgort, Ken Watanabe, Rinko Kikuchi, Rachel Keller, Ella Rumpf, Hideaki Ito, Shô Kasamatsu, and Tomohisa Yamashita.
