This is probably one of the best episodes yet from Tokyo Vice.

All the performances from the actors, even the cameo ones are magnificent.

The storylines are starting to merge together and we're seemingly moving into one big explosion of a climax soon.

I cannot wait for this season to end. Not because I dislike Season 2, but because right now, I am brimming with anxiety and anticipation, wanting to know how all of these stories come to an end this season.

And having said that, I really really hope they renew this for Season 3 (if there's some story left in it), or make a spin-off off of it. Seeing how Japanese streaming shows are making headway right now with the momentum generated by Alice in Borderland, Tokyo Vice etc... and lately, by Shogun, Tokyo Vice should ride this momentum and create a spin-off.

But, one can only hope.

10/10.

Its a shame that this show is coming to an end.

However, it is no shame the way it is ending!

From episode one, I knew I was getting a good show. Jake/Samantha brought a solid American representation needed for a Japanese based show to really succeed on HBO, the ALWAYS fantastic Ken Watanabe as the lead Vice officer, the reporters at The Meicho, all the Yakuza (Sato for me specifically)

Their characters were all interesting, yet such small blips in the Japanese culture. Along the way they all grew so much, shed their relative cloak of innocence and reached the point of no return. Sato from young man to Oyabun, Samantha from employee to club owner, Jake from starry eyed young reporter to pretty much the exact same guy, Tozawa from street thug to possible leader of Japan and so many smaller characters along the way.

Miki Maya as the female detective a special shoutout, she killed it bringing new life into Kens beaten down character.

This episode was the culmination of all the character development that came before. The corruption levels have all been exposed, everyone knows where they stand, there is nowhere to hide, the only option is confrontation.

Tokyo Vice delivered its best episode thus far! So much is happening and you can feel how serious and dangerous the whole situation has become, and how all this is not gonna go down without consequences and casualties!

This episode was great from the start and only got bwtter and better! This was incredible TV! Tension and drama delivered to perfection as every turn has a sense of unpredictability, soowly making you borh fearbwhatbwill happen, and keeping you on edge at the same rime!

Everything that was set up is about to pay off and if this is the quality it is delivered i feel like this is gonna be a great end!
