Tokyo Vice

Screenshot from Tokyo Vice

Where: HBO/Crave
What: Series, 10 episodes, 58 mins.
When: Now, new episodes Thursdays
Genre: Drama
Why you should watch: Stylish series set in 1999 has it all: great inside look at journalism in Japan, compelling crime drama, ’90s nostalgia, cultural clashes as a gaijin tries to negotiate life in Japan, cool shots of Tokyo and two fantastic leads with Baby Driver’s Ansel Elgort and skilled veteran actor Ken Watanabe. Based on a memoir, Tokyo Vice is, at times, adrenaline-popping combined with challenging details navigating life in Japan as well as journalism drudge work.
