Dive Into The Gritty World Of “Tokyo Vice!”

Season two of the acclaimed TV series “Tokyo Vice” is on Max no, and I can’t wait to see it.

Why? Because it’s based on this real-life thriller that I read several years ago!

I loved this book, and the series “Tokyo Vice” is inspired by American journalist Jake Adelstein’s nonfiction, firsthand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat. 

As they announced:

“The crime drama, filmed on location in Tokyo, captures Adelstein’s (Ansel Elgort) daily descent into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in the late ‘90s, where nothing and no one is truly what or who they seem.”

Here is the trailer for the series:

If you haven’t seen season one, it is also available on MAX, and it’s worth seeing as a travelogue to the great city of Tokyo!

I own the book that the series is based on, which is riveting:

Adelstein is a Reporter who went to Tokyo to co ver crime in the city, and he learned so much more about what lies underneath these neon streets:

If exploring Tokyo’s wild nightlife makes you hungry, do what I did and pop into a place that serves up “Okonomiyaki!”

The best thing about this iconic Japanese pancake is that you can make it at home – so I did!
