I just got through Quartet a short series about undercover cops busting a drug empire that exploits Chinese. Fun stuff, a late-late-night thing with pretty harsh violence and lots of lip gloss and high heels and tattoos and cell phones.

I've gotten through the first season of the mega-hit Ryomaden with Fukuyama Masaharu as Sakamoto Ryoma. 3 more seasons to go, and the only thing keeping me watching is the wild revisionist history and the promise of Yu Aoi as a geisha in Season 3.

Just saw the short series Shirasu Jiro, about the "man who defied MacArthur." Stars Iseya Yusuke and my favorite Japanese actress, Nakatani Miki.

I can recommend Hotelier and Rondo as well.
