The caliber of the production is far above average and from viewing point of view was a real treat visually To my mind the storyline wanders from the novel and is confusing. The confusion is due in large part to the use of captions In my opinion the biggest disappointment was the use captions on the Japanese dialogue. The captions turned off people. Considering the amount of money spent producing this series why wouldn't you give the viewer the option to select language as does Netflix on foreign.films. When it's possible to offer different language why would you not? Cast was excellent. All things considered, a lost effort.

This is the third Hoban Corbin story I have watched........a mistake I will not repeat in the future. Firstly the plot line is beyond believable. So, in my opinion what you have here is. A story that is unreal, boring which is enhanced by dead end twists in plot, meaningless sub plots which are apparently designed to lengthen the series to 8 episodes rather than a more realistic 4 episodes. The cast for the most part is does ok. You can be overwhelmed by the number of characters unless you pay close attention.i have not read any of Corbin's novels but hope his stories are more interesting than hie adaptation on screen plays.

The story follows the familiar illicit drug trade with the twist being a woman is the head of major drug operation:Griselda. The acting by the star was very believable. To be honest I hardly recognized her from her role on Modern Family. The supporting cast was also very good. The major negative was the constant use of caption's. Why Netflix felt this was necessary is a big question mark. Netflix releases numerous foreign productions giving viewer the option to choose what language it wants with or without captions. In my opinion, the captions greatly dimish one's ability to e joy the program.
