‘Tokyo Vice’ Remains the Best Show You’re Not Watching in a More Expansive Season 2: TV Review
The Max crime drama delves further into the Tokyo underworld in an expanded, expansive Season 2.
But Jake’s attempts to expose the politicians and gangsters responsible are thwarted by a sudden, suspicious fire at the newspaper’s offices, forcing him to turn his attention elsewhere as Rachel directs her energies toward starting her own hostess club. Combined with the sudden absence of main antagonist Tozawa (Ayumi Tanida), an ascendant rival to the incumbent Chihara-kai syndicate, the new season is free to spend a few episodes exploring new corners of Tokyo’s semi-licit fringe. Jake pursues a story about a crew of teenaged motorcycle thieves; his editor Eimi (Rinko Kikuchi), a Zeinichi Korean, gets a more fleshed-out family life; a romance involving his friend and coworker Trendy (Takaki Uda) takes the show into queer nightlife, a segment of the city obscure even to the rest of the ensemble’s seasoned operators.
