Life in the neon-soaked underbelly of late 1990s Tokyo is full of (nasty) surprises in an eight-part drama inspired by American journalist Jake Adelstein's non-fiction account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat. Adapted for the small screen by Tony Award-winning playwright JT Rogers, Tokyo Vice stars West Side Story's leading man Ansel Elgort as Jake, the first American crime reporter hired by Japan's prominent daily newspaper, Meicho Shimbun. He is assigned two apparently unrelated cases but as Jake delves deeper into the victims and evidence, he realises the stories may be connected. The supporting cast includes Ken Watanabe, Rinko Kikuchi and Rachel Keller.
