I have just finished watching the complete series. Although the violence is extreme the acting and the humour raises it way above the normal fare we get on British TV.
Is anyone else watching it?

I think I'm alone here in not rating this series.
I liked that it was a change from the usual cops and robbers offering, and I did enjoy the Japanese culture, and cross over from happenings with the family in Japan, but some of it I thought a bit silly. Sometimes it was a serious gangster plot, and sometimes lost it, and the arty "dance" sequence in the final episode was just too dreamily pretentious..

I agree about the dance scene, Greeneyedgirl.
I had enjoyed watching this programme, but was somewhat disappointed by the ending - it was almost as if they were in a rush and just wanted to finish it, but I found it unsatisfactory and the dance scene was just daft.

We gave up about half way through
