First episode-- directed by Michael Mann-- has no car chases or shootouts but maintains a remarkable tension.

Finished Season 1. A bit too slow in parts and not as thrilling as I would have preferred, but this look into the Yakuza underworld is still intriguing enough to keep my attention. Will follow it to a Season 2.

I'm just about to finish the first season and will watch the second one after all the episodes are out.

It's a great look into the criminal underworld of Tokyo from a quarter of a century ago.  Those familiar with Japan and the late 90's will see a few gaffes here and there but, by and large, the series is quite authentic to the time and period. 

I hope the second season is even better than the first.
