A still from "Tokyo Police."

Streaming service Max has shut down crime drama "Tokyo Vice" after two seasons.

"We’re grateful not only to Max, but to our partners Fifth Season, who sold the show around the world, and made it a global success story. They were in the trenches with us always, guaranteeing that we could make the show we wanted to make. The response from both the press and from fans, in particular to Season 2, has been overwhelming. It’s been thrilling to find out how deeply viewers have engaged with our characters, and to hear how they are clamoring for more. We know there is more story to tell. Of course we’ll see what the future holds, but we are indeed grateful to have been able to share this story on Max until now" — said creator J.T. Rogers.

In the story, American journalist Jake Adelstein takes a job as a reporter at the "Yomiuri Shimbun", a major Japanese newspaper in English. He is taken under the wing of an experienced detective from the crime squad, through which Adelstein begins to investigate and document the corruption of one of Tokyo's police stations.

The series premiered in April 2022, and a sequel was released two years later in February 2024. The project was warmly received by critics and viewers alike,  with ratings of 89% and 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, respectively.

Yes, it's a pity that such a good series was closed. On the other hand, at the end of the second season, all the main storylines were closed, it's not so insulting. But, of course, I would also like to observe the history of Adelstein in Tokyo...

But it seemed to me that we stopped at the right moment. It was possible to stretch it for another 500 seasons, but they put a very beautiful point✨

And it's good that they closed it. The second season was not bad, but ideally they would have finished the first one normally and closed it as planned. In general, it's a great series, absolutely everything is nice to watch.

It's a good series. It's a pity that they closed it, but at the same time, I'm glad that now he definitely won't slip into despondency.

I can finally watch it! I was afraid that they would stretch it out for 5 seasons again.
