A one and done season and only eight episodes. Definitely worth watching. My thots from the TV thread below
3&4
Spoiler

Eps 3 and 4 were fucking great. The tension leading up to the shootouts at the end of 3 was perfect, so many different storylines converging at once. And the last ten minutes of ep4 really highlighted them all. Good flashbacks for Yuto and Sarah too to explain their motivations

Ep 5 also great. Love the chemistry between Mori an Sarah, the twenty second silence scene was great. As annoying as Justin Long intentionally was I was still sad that Vickers died. Saw that coming a mile away tho unfortunately, they framed the shot way too obvious. Still a good moment tho. Fucking Donna! I did nooooooooot see her death coming immediately after. This show is for sure gonna continue dropping bodies in the final stretch here
Six was also very good. Good stuff with Rodney even if he can be kinda annoying. Loved the scene where Taki came out to Kenzo. And some slight MOVES being made by Sarah on Kenzo! Finally. prob wont end well for them though :(
Yutos girl is...so good looking
I loved the juxtaposition between both fams honoring the dead dad across the globe, that was nice
Hate Sarahs ex, that guy sucks
I have a feeling something baaaad is gonna happen to Kenzos wife or mom and Kenzo is gonna blame Yuto once he finds out he put them up to it
Great ep, great ending. Lots of shit coming to a head. This show is so good at giving every character an equal share of the pie
Oops, ignore what I said about Sarah’s ex. That was brutal! He forgives her and then Rodney fucks it alllll up. Did NOT see him being slammed by the car coming
I almost wish Rodney was in place of Annie’s friend who got shot at the end. That’d be so shocking. One of the main characters just getting offed like that like he’s nothing, because to the Yakuza thugs he is nothing. Can’t wait for that main Yakuza henchman to bite it. Did he really kill the fat partner?? I hope not
Holy shit the Roy twist. His entrance and title card reveal killed me. Ser Dontos!! That was too good
I was wondering if they were gonna bring back Abott. I’m so glad they did, he was a great addition to the finale
Cannot believe it was a happy ending. I’m shocked Yuto lived, he had tragic character written all over him. Also shocked Wife/Mother/Lover all lived. Even kinda surprised Rodney lived! Not sad about a happy ending at all though, I was rooting for everyone. Oh and the partner detective lived!
Oh wait, I spoke too soon (finishing now). Looks like ole Kenzo’s probably heading to jail, so not all that happy. And him and Sarah probably won’t happen. I love that it ended on a shot of them quiet for 20 seconds though, good callback
Merc I loved the dance scene. I really wish I didn’t know about it going in, would’ve caught me so off guard. And yet it felt on brand? The show made quite a lot of fun stylistic choices but that was the most daring for sure. It was great, I loved watching every relationship unfold there. I actually wish it was longer and had even more characters. What'd you think?
Not sad about a lack of s2, this was definitely a one and done story. An anthology would’ve been cool though
Great show. If youre looking for something new to watch check this out for sure
