Summary
An American journalist moves to Tokyo and lands a job at the country's largest newspaper, where he covers the crime beat and is drawn into the dangerous world of the yakuza. Working alongside a veteran detective, he navigates the moral compromises of reporting on organized crime while building sources among hostesses, gangsters, and police. Based on Jake Adelstein's memoir.
Tokyo Vice is a 2022 crime, drama and thriller television series.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 106 of whom clear the calibration test. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,069 2020s television series, not against the whole corpus. The calibrated figure is built from 223 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 237 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Tokyo Vice lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2020s (3,070 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 223.
