Really hope this gets renewed for a 3rd season and beyond.
Maybe, but this based on Jake’s book and real life experiences. I haven’t read the book yet so I don’t know where the show is in relation to it, but I don’t want them to finish the book in season 2 and then just make up stories for a season 3. For some reason, Hollywood is never as good when it deviates from the original source material that a show or movie is based on.

I'm pretty sure 95% of the events on this show never actually occurred.
There was a white reporter in Japan that covered vice, and a Yakuza that got a transplant. Everything else is make believe.

It is really only inspired by his life/book. Adelstein is an executive producer and signs off on the depiction he really is the only "real" character that transfers from the page to screen. I read both his books maybe 10 years ago and the series is quite different which is a good thing because they don't have the possibility to drop off when they run out of source material.
I keep recommending this to friends but nobody seems to bite. I guess I am doing a poor job of selling it because it really is a fantastic series.
