The Episode Review
The show’s creators continue to explore the dark and dangerous underbelly of Japan’s capital, with a focus on the criminal underworld. This season, Tokyo Vice introduces a new character, who is quickly becoming one of the show’s most popular characters.
The consistency that was preserved hitherto proves to be pivotal in establishing the finale’s tone. It might not be the most likable but it will make purists and fans of the show happy. In many ways, strangely, it feels more like the beginning of a crusade than an end. ..
Tokyo’s world again proves to be a place where men of morals are not welcome. Its traditions are set in stone, and the city’s inhabitants continue to do what they have always done - break the law.
The idea that Jake and Hiroto could work with the Yakuza proves how dangerous it is to get involved with organized crime. ..
The final shot of the episode involving Jake and Hiroto shows that Yoshino was already prepared to begin a new chapter. ..
Jake and Hiroto know they have to be careful not to let their guard down now that they know the dangers of the world outside. ..
Sato, the protagonist of “Tokyo Vice,” has undergone a significant transformation since the show began. His character arc is one of the most satisfying outcomes of the show’s narrative, although more about his past would have laid a stronger groundwork. ..
Tokyo Vice season one ended on a very positive note, concluding the series for viewers. The wait for a season two now begins but with a renewed hope that some men can never be corrupted, while those who have lost their way, can always find it back.
