Decent but unfocused

While this show certainly has good parts, the problem is that it's not clear what the core story is. There's various plotlines with journalists, cops, club hostesses and gangsters but none of them are focused on in great detail. Instead the show jumps from one plotline to another, with some big moments coming out of nowhere while others are dropped without any closure. The ending is too abrupt and doesn't even start to resolve any of the plotlines, which felt underwhelming.

The storyline and characters are interesting, but the show is undermined by a lack of focus. The parts about the Yakuza culture and the police were very good, but the parts about Jake's lovelife were not.
