Tokyo Vice – The Test

There is no murder in Japan. Based on the real experiences of American journalist Jake Adelstein (Ansel Elgort) working in Tokyo (although earning scrutiny for the liberties it takes with the source material), the first episode of Tokyo Vice introduces us to Jake who earns his way as the first foreign reporter for a conservative Japanese newspaper. Covering the crime beat, Jake struggles with how crime is reported in Japan where the press print the official police statement of a crime which almost never entertains the possibility of murder (even for a man stabbed multiple times and left for dead).

In an episode where the task force looks to take down an insane dealer in psychedelic drugs, The Blacklist continues to tease the possible return of Mr. Kaplan. While the cliffhanger seems to suggest Kaplan is still alive, it seems also quite possible someone is gaslighting Reddington (James Spader) and taking on the identity of his old associate for their own reasons (possibly with inside help?). Whether or not it is Kaplan, or some new threat, it’s obvious the threat of this new player is quite real and whoever it might be they seem to have far too much knowledge of Raymond’s organization.

Following the likes of WandaVision, Loki, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Moon Knight, and The Eternals, Marvel Studios continues to push Phase Four in new and different ways. While not everything has been as strong as some of the earlier core Marvel titles, it certainly hasn’t been boring. In many ways, you could refer to Phase Four of the MCU as Marvel Studios’ experimental teenage years. Enter director Sam Raimi.
