  Tokyo Vice is one of the best HBO series. Intense and suspenseful. Hope they will come back for SS3.

    Agree it's in top 50 all time in my opinion.

    Jake is active on Threads and he's trying to push for a new series but filming in Tokyo is extremely difficult because of strict red tape, time taken to gain permission to film and huge costs associated with filming because they have to pay everyone that appears on the show even in the background (shops, extras etc)

    That was the main reason HBO ended the show.

    Fingers crossed we can get Tokyo Noir filmed 🤞🏼

  The Book sequel to Tokyo Vice (the HBO TV series)

  Actually it's a sequel to the book Tokyo Vice by Jake Addelsteins

  Interestingly, while Addelsteins published Tokyo Vice as a memoir, it is more accurate to categorize it as a literary hoax, as numerous investigations have cast extreme doubt about the truth of the claims in his memoirs:

  From wikipedia:

  An April 2022 article by The Hollywood Reporter raised doubts about the veracity of the events described in the memoir and the many quotes he has attributed to anonymous sources in his journalism. According to the article, Adelstein initially offered to provide evidence that his anonymous sources existed, but then declined to do so.[6] In November 2022, Esquire reported that Adelstein had released via Twitter a folder of source materials which he claimed supported his versions of events.[7] In June 2023, a team of three European investigative journalists published an article in Belgian magazine Le Soir that also cast doubt on the content of his memoir, as well as his career at the Yoimiuri. The Japanese newspaper went on record for the first time about Adelstein in the article, stating that he was never part of the reporting teams for organized crime and had only written a very small number of articles about the yakuza during his time there.

    I remember when posting wiki as proof was laughable. Now I trust it so much more than if you’d posted an AI screenshot lol.

      Nearly everything on Wikipedia is sourced. If it's not sourced, it usually gets removed.

    Both concepts can be true I was just trying to highlight the connection to the TV series.
