The first episode was good. Ansel Elgort plays a young man, Jake, in the late 1990s who wants to work for the biggest Tokyo newspaper. Jake has been in Japan for a couple of years. He teaches English to the Japanese. He studies for the test to be on the Newspaper staff. Once he gets the job. It's not what he thought it would be. He's put on the police beat and there is a very rigid form of exactly what they can report. Everyone keeps asking him why he wants to be on the paper and the answers so far have been less than satisfactory. His first cases are of one men stabbed and another man who lit himself on fire. He finds a connection between the two.
The show is very good and atmospheric, showcasing the less well known parts of Tokyo. There are a lot of weird scenes of Jake getting confronted for being in areas where only Japanese people should be. The show is directed by Michael Mann, the man who brought us Miami Vice (Title tie-in?) and Heat.
I did spend ten minutes looking for this show on Amazon Prime before I realized my mistake.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
