Sometimes They Disappear (S01E07)

I'm afraid the upward trend in the quality of the series came to a halt. The plot, while not weak, didn't quite match up to the previous episode and felt more on par with the fifth. It looks like the creators decided to slow things down before the big finale, hopefully setting the stage for an explosive ending. Either way, you could tell the police investigation took a noticeable dip, and the yakuza conflicts somewhat stagnated. Like I said, this episode felt a lot like the calm before the storm, but unlike folks living by the coast, I'm actually looking forward to some proper thunder and lightning. / Lesson learned: Don't get into debt. People might want their money back. (28/10/2022)

The seventh episode lacks a bit of pace and the right cinematic dynamics, but it depicts authentic Tokyo like few other things and, as is usual in this miniseries, it is absolutely unpredictable, without any clichés or crutches. Praise for that, no matter how watchable and audience-appealing it is. (07/06/2022)
