The much-awaited finale of popular crime drama Tokyo Vice is all set to air this week, and fans are hoping for a satisfying conclusion.

From learning the Japanese language to becoming their first successful foreign-born journalist, the series captures Jake's journey as he explores the dangerous work of the mafia.
Here's everything viewers need to know about the finale, premiering on April 28 on HBO Max.
