Hopefully Michael Mann gets to direct more episodes. The ones he did were fantastic. I found the show kind of lackluster. Didn't really care for the girl trying to start her own club arc.

I think he only got to direct the pilot and it was so excellent, you can feel the difference in the rest of the episodes. The exam sequence in the pilot is phenomenal.

The drop off in quality between the pilot and the rest of the episodes was a cliff.

The pilot was great. Really tense and you wondered where things were going. Unfortunately I agree that you can feel the difference in the rest of the episodes, I really didn’t love this show.

Her character in general is just unlikable. A mormon that made it to Japan to push her religion, constantly making bad decisions and gets combative when people try to help her.

Agreed. Show started out amazing and the finale was just goofy.

Agree mostly. Show was good (not great, but definitely good), but the finale was a mess.

I didn't like her character either, but it did it's job which was create reach into tokyo underworld culture from the perspective of a westerner.

It could have been worse. Some white savior interpol FBI bullshit that japanese cops bow down to. And I say that as an anti-progressive.
