The Best Foreign Language TV Shows to Stream Right Now

Tokyo police detective Kenzo Mori receives startling news that his younger brother Yuto, who was linked to the yakuza and long-thought dead, is possibly alive and living in the U.K. Yuto is now accused of killing a yakuza boss's nephew in London, which has brought Tokyo to the brink of an all-out gang war. To keep the chaos from erupting, Kenzo is tasked with secretly tracking down Yuto and diffusing the situation. The English translation of the show's title is “duty/shame,” a dichotomy that lives among all the characters, especially Kenzo, who is drawn into the wrong side of the crime world and faces other moral dilemmas. The story is split between the two cities, with the majority of the London scenes unfolding in English, in case full-on subtitles are not your thing. —Jessica Puckett, transportation editor
