In a near-future Tokyo, a Japanese investigator and US peacekeeper reluctantly join forces to solve a series of bizarre murders. Season 2 out now!
It's 2033 and Tokyo, partially occupied by China, is in a state of fear, distrust, and drone-enforced surveillance. When Detective Miyako Koreda is paired with Lieutenant Emma Higashi of the US Peacekeeping force, Miyako is annoyed by the obviously American-backed PR stunt. But as the city is ailed by a rise in gruesome crimes, Miyako and her new partner must quickly learn to trust each other as they race against the clock to investigate each case —which range from a missing shipment of dangerous weapons to a faceless body on the subway platform — all while dealing with frequent blackouts, local gangs, and underground resistance forces.

Customer Reviews
Epic storytelling, cyberpunk is the best!!
This show is amazing. The story, the characters, and voice acting are great. I was hooked on the first episode. I am super stoked for a third season. Give it a listen, you won’t regret it.
When will the third season come out?
Very interesting premise, but…
the execution falls flat for me. Idk what it is, but I keep falling asleep on it. I’m going to keep trying to listen a little while longer to hopefully get into it because I do think it has potential and I want to like it. Will report back.
Great podcast. One of the best
Absolutely brilliant! Great story telling and world building and voice work. Although the characters Japanese names a very hard for me to keep track of. I sometimes find myself having to use context clues to figure out who she is talking about. That’s literally the only downside to this show
