Reviews

Kambole Campbell
Thrillist
The series can often move at a relentless pace that doesn't allow its themes and character arcs to breathe, though there are a handful of episodes that take time to slow down and decompress.

Observer
There is enough story here to fill a 22- or even 18-episode series, but because it is limited to ten, many storylines feel underdeveloped, even those concerning the main characters. As a result, Japan Sinks feels rushed and unearned.

The show's reticence to dig into hopelessness and pain leaves its admirable optimism to feel strangely artificial.
