Red flag, this is an excuse people give when they don’t want to put in the effort to research their role. This isn’t your own thing, it’s a series based on an established franchise. You don’t have to play the video game, but you should be highly familiar with the series. Just watch a let’s play. Why do people like this even get hired?

Generic show about the criminal underworld incoming. I’d imagine none of the charm and humour will make it in so as to be ‘grounded’ and ‘realistic’.

why even buy the rights then?????????????????????????????????????????????????

Hollywood seems determined to kill off video game adaptions before they can replace superheroes.

Haven’t played Yakuza? These people don’t know what they’re doing, in the shadows you have to play yakuza 0-3 at least.

I appreciate this approach more versus the Witcher TV series approach where they actively did not give a shit about tying it in with the source material at all.

Cuz that show is a fcking train wreck.

Never will I understand taking a beloved series and going so far from the original story. I want to see a LIVE action version of the same story not a different take. Fuck it lol.

What a coincidence, I'm never gonna watch the show because I'd rather play a version of Yakuza that has nothing to do with theirs.
