Like a Dragon is going global. The video game series, previously known as Yakuza in the West, has only grown in popularity since 2015's Yakuza 0, encompassing all manner of turn-based RPGs, secret agent brawlers, and pirate-themed adventures. Now, it's about to be plonked in front of millions of subscribers on Prime Video.
However, Like a Dragon: Yakuza never stretches to the incredulous heights of its gaming cousin. A fairly loose adaptation of the original 2005 video game, the new Amazon series revolves around a more grounded gangster story during two time periods in Kamurochō, a fictional entertainment district in Japan.
