SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of 'Tokyo Vice,' now streaming on Max. Season 2 of 'Tokyo Vice,' the neo-noir crime drama set in Tokyo, Japan, and loosely based on a memoir written by journalist Jake Adelstein, has come to a close in an explosive finale that both sent off (or rather, killed off) the series' main, two-season running antagonist - and laid the foundation for what could potentially come from the Max thriller if a third season were to be greenlit.
The show stars Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe, and tells the story of a Japanese-fluent American writer (Elgort) who works his way into covering crime for one of Tokyo's most prominent newspapers. In the process, he forges an unlikely bond with a dogged local police detective, Hiroto Katagiri (Watanabe), with the duo sharing information and working together to untangle sordid yakuza activities.
