Tokyo Swindlers (2024)

Tokyo Swindlers plays out a lot like a typical heist story, relying on suspense and a slightly far-fetched scam revolving around real estate. However, it sets itself apart with its powerful performances and engaging characters, especially Harrison Yamanaka (Etsushi Toyokawa). Additionally, it offers viewers a deep dive into the world of Japan's jimenshi or land swindlers. Viewers who enjoy heist series like Money Heist and Lupin will love Tokyo Swindlers' fast pace, solid characters, and unique setting.

In Tokyo Swindlers, a group of young con artists have been stealing money from a development company through “property swindling”, but throughout the series, the group dives deeper into a plot they might not be able to escape from. The show isn’t like your typical heist story. It's way more intense, action-packed, loaded with murder, and filled with corrupt and unlikable characters. It’s kind of like if Quentin Tarantino remade The Bling Ring. If you love heart-pounding action and lots of suspense, you need to watch Tokyo Swindlers.
