Giri/Haji
Created by Joe Barton
On BBC Two
A tense, melancholic crime drama about duty and betrayal that splits its focus between a detective and his assassin brother across two cities, sustained by moral ambiguity and the weight of family obligation.
Family duty sends a lawman to London to look for his mob-assassin brother as a yakuza war threatens to engulf Tokyo. Trust is even tougher to find.
