Goofs
When Jake follows Tozawa in the taxi, he hurriedly gets out and slams the door. In Japan the passenger doors of taxis, even in the time period of the show, were operated by the driver, who had a small lever to close it. Jake would definitely know just to leave the door open.

What happend to this show

Where is the show with interesting background to the Yakuza, the live of a gaijin reporter in Japan and the hopeless feeling fight against the Yakuza and corruption?

This feels now like a slow moving boring soap opera where old and new support characters get stories we are not interested in and have (mostly) nothing to do with the main plot. I am not even sure we have a main plot.

They also added cliche characters with cliche story lines. (you know what I mean when you see them) Please. Stop. Putting. Token. Characters. Into. A. show to check a box. Just boring.

Also the main characters seem to behave unexplainably differently to the first season. And also some things just happen to move the plot along or create some action/tension without real build up or even logic.

I am not sure if I gona watch this to the end.
