Tokyo Vice (2022– )
7/10
Strong start, peters out
9 June 2022
I feel like I wasted my time with this series. No spoilers.

It starts strong. Like many new series, the opening episode is the best, to reel you in. While always watchable, it's soon obvious that it's stretching out unnecessarily. Events occuring without really pushing the story forward in more than minimal amounts.

What's really frustrating is towards the end of the season it raises more questions rather than tying anything up. So little is resolved that unless you're fully committed to returning to a second season then its a waste of time.

Many series do this now. Rather than delivering high entertainment to make you want to keep watching, they utilize the bait and hook approach, which feels dishonest. Ultimately, its just frustrating.

How do we know they won't do the same at the end of season 2?

I won't know because I won't be back. Entertaining but fails to live up to the high promise of Episode one.
