Might be a little biased because of my fascination and love for everything Japanese, but Ken watanabe is brilliant and the characters are all engaging and layered. Adelstein's acting could get better, but all of the complaining about accuracy and racism or cultural appropriation or smoking - give me a break. If you want 100% accuracy watch a documentary. A lot of the same people who say that stuff will also say it about Batman movies. I just hope that it doesn't get cancelled prematurely like so many other smartly written HBO series' because the marketing budget was crap. Sure, it's exaggerated but the story is good, directing top-notch, and the depiction of the Yakuza is more than just fingers getting sliced off. Satos good/bad character playing the criminal you root for ala tony soprano is brilliantly constructed and acted.
