Black-and-white segments, balletic action and a magical dance scene make it truly unforgettable.
Perhaps the boldest drama on our list, this utterly unique series is well worth seeking out. It follows a Tokyo detective (Takehiro Hira) who travels to London in search of his wayward brother, who’d fallen into a life of crime and was assumed dead. As a Yakuza gang war erupts back home, he teams up with a Met detective ( Kelly Macdonald) and a lippy rent boy (scene-stealer Will Sharpe) to form an unlikely investigative trio. Black-and-white segments, balletic action and a magical dance scene make it truly unforgettable. A confident calling card from writer Joe Barton, who would go on to create The Lazarus Project and upcoming spy thriller Black Doves. Read our Giri/Haji review
