S1 Ep02 A stronger episode. Now that we know who all the characters are we can finally do some things. There is a strong showing of what life is like for non-Japanese people in Japan. Jake continues to struggle to be a reporter in the confines of the Japanese system. Lots of scenes about the rules governing society. Every interaction is transactional in the world of crime reporting. Jake continues to dig at a story no ones told about the Yakuza. The show has a lot of style which I guess we can put down to Michael Mann's influence although he did not direct Ep02. I guess they put the whole series up at once because I've still got episodes to watch.
Since the film is set in 1999, we don't get to see the technology everyone uses today. It's odd not to see everyone on their cell phones. Jakes takes notes on a notepad.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
